This Raspberry Banana Loaf is one of my hubby’s favourites, so I bake it quite often. He loves it fresh out of the oven and will slice off a big chunk to eat while it’s still hot. Once it’s cooled though, I slice all the loaves quickly, pop each slice into a snack-size zip lock bag and then get them into the freezer pronto so that I have morning teas ready to go for the week ahead. I always use my favourite small loaf tins, which measure 18 cm x 8 cm. This recipe will make 3 small loaves and I usually get around 8 slices from each one.
This is so simple and quick to put together with very little fuss. I always keep frozen raspberries in the freezer and this recipe is a great way to use up any bananas that are a little overripe. Enjoy!
- 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup plain flour
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon bi-carbonate soda
- ⅔ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- ½ cup low fat milk (or full cream milk)
- 2 large eggs, lightly whisked
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- Preheat oven to 180C (fan-forced). Spray 3 small loaf tins (measuring 18 cm x 8 cm) with cooking spray and line the base and two sides with baking paper, allowing it to overhang a little on either side.
- In a large bowl add self-raising flour, plain flour, desiccated coconut, cinnamon, bi-carbonate soda and brown sugar and use a whisk to combine.
- Place the milk, eggs and vegetable oil in a jug and whisk together until well combined.
- Add the mashed banana to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Add the frozen raspberries to the dry ingredients and stir through.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Spoon the mixture evenly between the 3 prepared loaf tins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of each loaf comes out cleanly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Turn each loaf out of its tin, remove the baking paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- This loaf is suitable to freeze.
