Ingredients

Makes 1 loaf with 10 slices

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 ripe bananas, roughly mashed
4 ounces raspberries
Handful of rolled oats
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 1/2 x 4-inch loaf pan with baking parchment. I make sure that the paper overlaps a little bit, which makes it much easier to remove the loaf from the pan once it is cooked.

    Step 2

    Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until nicely combined. Add the eggs in two batches, beating well between each addition. The mixture won’t quite look its best, but it will soon come good! Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and baking powder and stir through until nicely mixed in. Then stir the bananas in, followed by a gentle fold in of the raspberries.

    步骤3

    Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, smooth it out a bit with the back of a spoon and then sprinkle the oats evenly over the top. Bake in the oven for 50–55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when the loaf is pierced in the center.

    Step 4

    Leave to cool in the pan for a few minutes before lifting out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack. The loaf will stay at its best for 1 to 2 days when stored in an airtight container.

  • This was excellent. It is definitely more like a bread than a cake or muffin, which I prefer. I doubled the recipe and ended up putting all of the mix in one 9x5 inch loaf pan. It of course took longer to cook (maybe about 90 minutes), but turned out nice. Also, instead of raspberries, I added about 1 cup of raisins. Great morning breakfast toasted with peanut butter and a cup of coffee.

  • This was excellent- I followed recipe exactly. Not all all too sweet - the sweetness of the bananas and raspberries is perfect with the small amount of brown sugar. While more bread-like than cake-like of a typical banana bread, I loved the tenderness of the loaf. Since I have extra bananas to use, I measured out the dry ingredients for a second loaf while making the first, so I can make again in a couple of days with ease. Safe to say this feels like a healthy snack being made with half whole wheat flour too.

  • Absolutely delicious. Try Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour and Earth Balance dairy free soy free butter for a great alternative that tastes the same!
