Banana Bread; light and delicious like a spring morning


Dear MUM,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY xoxo

Here is a quick and delish weekend breakfast idea for you, it's perfect for a special 'breakfast in bed' treat this weekend!

A one-bowl wonder that will leave the kitchen still shining in the aftermath, so don't worry you won't have to lift a finger with the clean up duties.

Put your feet up; enjoy a coffee with a sliver of banana bread and smile for all the times you have made us smile. Thanks mum :-)

Healthy banana bread without the fuss for mother's day brunch

Makes: 1 loaf
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes

the ingredients
1 ¾ cups (240g) Self raising flour
¼ cup (65g) whole meal plain flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 bananas, mashed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup natural yogurt
¼ cup honey
¼ cup (45ml) oil

lets have a little fun
Preheat oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan forced for 15 minutes.
Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl, stir until combined. Spoon the mixture into a Loaf Pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning out.
Slices easily whilst still warm using a bread knife. Tastes great served with fresh ricotta, sliced strawberries & drizzled with maple syrup.

ps - Replace banana with raspberries; wholemeal plain flour with coconut and add ½ cup white choc chopped
