A deliciously moist Blueberry & Banana Bread made with healthy wholemeal flour, oats, honey, and fresh fruit. This easy, no-mixer required loaf cake makes an ideal breakfast or tasty snack for when you're on the go. It's also perfect for teatime.
Ingredients
- 125g self-raising wholemeal flour
- 100g rolled oats
- 2 tbsp light soft brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 100ml melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp runny honey
- 3 medium sized ripe bananas - mashed
- 75g blueberries
- 30g walnut halves - roughly chopped (optional)
Directions
- Heat the oven to 180C/160Fan/Gas 4.
- Line a 1.5 litre loaf tin with baking paper.
- Add the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder to a large bowl.
- Gently whisk together the oil, milk and eggs in a measuring jug.
- Pour the contents of the jug into the bowl, mixing as you go until all the ingredients are completely combined.
- Add the mashed bananas and honey. Mix to fully incorporate until a gooey consistency is reached.
- Fold in approximately a third of the blueberries, plus the walnut pieces (if using).
- Pour the mixture into the tin, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
- Scatter the remaining blueberries over the top of the batter. Push them gently in to the mixture, leaving the tops showing.
- Bake in the oven for 1 hour, until the loaf is well risen and a skewer inserted in to the middle comes out clean. Hint: Check the colour of the cake after about 40 minutes. If it's looking too brown, cover the top with a double layer of baking paper to prevent it burning.
- Remove from the oven, leave the Blueberry & Banana Bread to cool slightly in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
