Background

This dairy-free oaty banana bread is perfect for breakfast, picnics, afternoon tea or for the lunch-box. The original recipe had more sugar in it but I reduced it by half because the ripe bananas were more than sweet enough! You can make it even more healthy by using whole-wheat flour - or indeed gluten-free by using appropriate flour (such as rice, almond, coconut etc).

Ingredients

100g dairy-free margarine
100g caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
100g plain flour
100g porridge oats
3 bananas, mashed
60 ml oaty or almond milk
2 handfuls of raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a medium size loaf tin.
Cream the margarine and sugar together, then add the eggs and vanilla and mix until fluffy.
Mix the flour, oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon together. Add this mixture to the egg mixture.
Mash the bananas with the milk, then gently combine with the batter. Fold in the raisins, if used, then spoon the batter into the tin.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
