Banana & Peanut Breakfast Loaf

This is a delicious breakfast bread loaf. Serve with dairy free butter or margarine, and spread thickly. It’s great with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea. It’s child friendly, and you’ll really love it at that time of day when you feel like a carb boost. You can use other nuts, or even chopped dried fruit in it if you wish.

 

INGREDIENTS

200 ml soya milk (plus a little extra if needed see recipe)
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
4 Tbsp sunflower oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 very ripe bananas mashed to a pulp
1 cup self-raising (self-rising) flour
1½ cups plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1½ cups roasted peanuts, chopped – of which ½ cup reserved for topping
½ tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp ground cardamom or poppy seeds
2-3 full Tbsp organic coconut sugar

METHOD

First preheat your oven to 355ºF (180ºC).

Then process the peanuts until broken up into small pieces – don’t worry if some remain largeish – and place in a bowl.

Meanwhile, place the dried ingredients in a separate bowl. Then the wet ingredients in another, except for the milk and vinegar – place these 2 ingredients together in a separate bowl, and allow to curdle for around 15 minutes.

Now mix the chopped nuts and dried ingredients together in a large bowl, and then make a well shape in the middle.

Add in the wet ingredients, including the milk and vinegar (ensuring first that it has curdled), and mix into a thick batter, don’t over mix.  If it is too doughy add a little bit more milk to loosen it up into a thick batter rather than a dough.

Next, prepare a suitable loaf tin – the internal measurements of mine were 9 x 4½ x 2½ inches – by lining it with greaseproof paper (parchment paper in the US). Then spoon your mixture into the tin, and place in your preheated oven until golden on top, or until a sharp knife comes out dry.  

Allow to cool, and remove from the tin.

Slice as desired, and be sure to store in an air-tight container to retain freshness.

  1. Hi Miriam! Roughly how long does this take to bake?

     
  2. Hi Sarah, I would say between 25-35 minutes, depending on the efficiency of your oven, if it’s fan assisted and so on. Your best bet is to check it once it has risen and gone golden with a toothpick, if it comes out clean it’s done, if not leave in for a few more minutes.

     
  3. Hi Miriam,
    I was wondering, with the roasted peanuts, are they salted or plain? Just wanted to check because the recipe doesn’t have any salt in and I wasn’t sure if it might come from the peanuts.
    Thanks!

     
  4. Hi Izzy – you could use either salted or unsalted, both will work ! Hope you enjoy it !

     
  5. I found some plain roasted ones and it worked really well. Great recipe, thanks!
