HEALTH-IER BANANA BREAD

Ditch the refined sugars and put those over-ripe bananas to good use and make this deliciously simple oaty banana bread! Super simple and tasty, and not at all over sweet!

Ingredients:

2 large very ripe bananas, mashed (plus one extra sliced in half for topping) 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup rolled oats (plus extra for topping) 1 3/4 cup wholemeal spelt flour 2 eggs 1/4 cup milk of choice 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract Pinch of salt

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees Celsius (fan-forced). In a bowl combine honey and oil with a whisk. Add eggs, milk and bananas and combine. Add all remaining ingredients and combine well. Pour batter into a baking paper lined loaf pan. Top with extra banana and oats.  Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean (depends on your loaf tin size). Cool in tin for 15 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack until it's cool enough to be easily handled.
