This is my favourite way to cook, no running back and forth to check a recipe. I feel like I’m\u00a0channelling the good ole’ days, where housewives knew their basic recipe by heart, rarely had to get a cookbook out, and they were comfortable enough in the kitchen that they took every opportunity to be experimental and work with what they had.<\/p>\n This recipe came about because my Step-Grandma has gone on holidays and when Mamma T and Phil went\u00a0to her house yesterday to give the place a bit of a clean, they brought home with them some fruit that was very, very <\/em>ripe. How else can you use up 5 overripe bananas if not in a banana bread? We also had lots of nuts\/seeds leftover from when we did a big pre-Christmas baking order. Add in some eggs, aluminium-free bicarb soda, a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla and Himalayan salt and boom … an instant banana bread<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n I sprinkled it with some grain-free granola that we had sitting in a glass jar in the fridge … mostly for d\u00e9cor but also to add a nice crunch and exciting texture.<\/p>\n It took barely any time to whip together and voila … banana bread, minimal measuring with wiggle room for interpretation.<\/p>\n Add some chopped whole-foods chocolate<\/strong> <\/span>(such as loving earth), some macadamia nuts<\/span> <\/strong>or walnuts<\/span><\/strong>, chopped dates or\u00a0cacao nibs<\/span><\/strong>. Skip the granola sprinkling and ice with the frosting<\/span><\/strong> from this recipe<\/a>. Or leave it plain Jane<\/em> if you’re really wanting to keep it simple (maybe toast a slice and slather with butter or coconut oil – oh yeah boi!!!).<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Makes 1 Large Loaf<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Method<\/strong><\/p>\n Preheat oven to 170 degrees C and line a standard sized loaf pan with toxin-free baking paper. I love the “if you care” brand.<\/p>\n Throw bananas, then eggs, then nuts\/seeds (or nut flour\/butter), bicarb, spices and salt into a high-speed food processor (I love my Vitamix) and blend on high until thick, smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n Pour into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour (insert skewer into centre of loaf upon removing from oven to make sure it’s done … skewer will come out clean if loaf is done … if not leave in for another 5-10 minutes and check again … all ovens can be a bit different after all)<\/p>\n Allow to cool before slicing and enjoying. Banana bread is super-moist, so it’s best to store in an air-tight\u00a0container in the fridge\u00a0and consume within\u00a03-5 days to prevent mould accumulation. You can cool completely, slice and freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overripe bananas? Banana bread to the rescue.
