Unbelievably moreish banana loaf that’s super-easy to make, great to have on hand for morning tea, this will be a family favourite.
1 Preheat oven to 170˚C. Grease a 12cm x 20cm loaf pan.
2 Place oil, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, banana and yoghurt in a food processor and blend. (I have used my fabulous Kenwood Multipro Excel. This is the ideal method if you want to use frozen bananas, which can be added without defrosting them first.)
3 Add remaining ingredients to food processor and blend until combined.
4 Pour mixture into greased loaf tin and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or mixed spice. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. If it needs longer, cover loaf with foil so top doesn’t burn.
5 Let loaf cool in pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool, then slice.
Make it egg free: Substitute eggs for ‘flax egg’ (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed soaked in 5 tablespoons water for 5 minutes).
To make this loaf by hand:
Step 1 In a large bowl beat oil and honey (or maple syrup) together with a whisk or fork. Add banana, then add eggs and yoghurt and beat well.
Step 2 Add baking powder, baking soda, vanilla and spices. Whisk to blend. Stir in flour, oats and coconut until combined. It won’t be a smooth mixture – lumps are normal! If you want to add any nuts, now is the time.
Then follow steps 4 and 5 above.
