Ingredients

• 250 g strong flour (plain or wholemeal)
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 120 ml coconut oil, oil - softened or melted (equivalent of 90g)
• 2 eggs, medium - beaten
• 2 tbsp brown rice syrup or agave nectar (optional)
• 4 over-ripe bananas - fresh or defrosted, mashed roughly with a fork
• 100 g raisins or sultanas

Sugarfree Banana Bread with walnuts

• 50 g walnuts, halfs or chopped roughly

Sugarfeee Chocolate Banana Bread

• 2 tbsp cocoa, good quality such as Green and Blacks

Servings: loaf (2lb)

Instructions

1. Preheat the over to 140 C (fan) or 150 C (conventional). Line a 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof / baking parchment or a liner. Prepare your ingredients.
2. Sift the dry ingredients - the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, into a large bowl and stir to mix.
3. Making a well in the centre of the mix, add the wet ingredients - the coconut oil, eggs and syrup / nectar if using. Stir to combine.
4. Add the bananas and raisins / sultanas - and the walnuts and / or cocoa. Mix to just combine being careful not to over-work the mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared bread tin. If making the walnut loaf and looking for a super pretty effect add a little line of walnuts along the top. Alternatively you can add a long slice slice / smaller slices of banana - like I did here - http://thebusymamas.ie/chocolate-and-banana-bread/.

   
6. Bake for 75 to 90 minutes or until a skewer into the middle comes out clean.
7. Remove and cool on a wire rack before turning out. Enjoy slathered with butter and a large cup of tea.
