Ingredients
| 225 g unsalted butter, softened | |
| 225 g brown sugar | |
| 1 tsp vanilla extract | |
| 3 eggs, lightly beaten | |
| 3 large ripe bananas, peeled and mashed | |
| 300 g SR flour | |
| 150 g plain flour | |
| 1 tsp baking powder | |
| ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda | |
| ½ tsp salt | |
| 190 ml milk | |
| 200 g fresh or frozen raspberries (see note if using frozen) | |
| 200 g milk chocolate chips |
The addition of raspberries and chocolate chips will take this all-time favourite to the next level.
Method
Preheat oven on CircoTherm® to 160⁰C and if available select a low level of steam. Grease and line a 28 cm x 12 cm loaf pan.
In a bowl of an electric mixer, place the butter, sugar and vanilla and beat until pale and fluffy. Add the egg in 3 batches and beat well.
Stir in the mashed banana. Sift together the flours, baking powder, bicarb and salt. Fold in the flour and milk alternatively. Set aside approximately 20 chips and 8 berries. Add the other raspberries and chocolate chips and gently combine.
Spoon mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Add left over chocolate chips and raspberries to the top of mixture. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool in the loaf pan for 15 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack. Slice banana bread when cool.
Notes
Using VarioSteam will allow the banana bread to stay extra moist during baking. If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw before adding to mixture. Banana bread makes a great lunchbox addition. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to four weeks.If using a different size loaf tin cooking times can vary.
