Healthy Banana Bread Recipe

[*Ali*]

I am just came across this Banana Bread recipe while I was looking for something to cook for morning tea. It has just come out of the oven and I have to say it is rather tasty and I dont feel at all guilty for eating it. Just thought I would share.

Ingredients:

2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
3/4 cup (125g) sultanas (or pitted dates - <sugar!)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup (250ml) reduced fat milk
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large ripe bananas)

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the base and sides of a 23cm x 13cm loaf pan with non-stick baking paper.

Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir in sugar and sultanas.

Combine eggs, milk and bananas in a large jug. Whisk with a fork, until well combined. Using a large metal spoon, stir egg mixture into dry ingredients, until well combined.

Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve lightly buttered, or toasted.
