Banana bread

Overripe bananas? Yessss! Time to make banana bread! Add in some chocolate chips and you have a really awesome, wholesome tea-time goodie!

Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cup whole meal (brown) flour (I use Eureka Mills)

• ½ cup dark brown sugar

• 1 level tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 1 level tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp cinnamon powder

• ½ tsp nutmeg powder

• A pinch of salt

Wet ingredients:

• ½ cup melted coconut oil

• 1 cup full cream milk

• 1 Tbsp white vinegar/ apple cider vinegar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 slightly overripe bananas, grated/mashed

• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. Sift together dry ingredients.

3. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients. In winter, coconut oil is super hard, so you will have to melt it on a very low heat till you can measure it. If the milk was from the fridge you will need to heat this up too – very slightly so that the coconut oil doesn’t harden again when you mix it with the milk.

4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients mixture and combine gently with a whisk, while simultaneously adding the banana. You can add in the chocolate chips too at this point.

5. Pour into a greased loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
