BANANA, BLUEBERRY AND MANUKA BREAD

This recipe for banana bread (with optional blueberries) is the perfect treat for those days when you can't shake a craving for a few sweet mouthfuls. We have replaced sugar with our manuka honey, which tastes sweeter per spoonful. Try this super simple recipe for a moist loaf of banana laden goodness!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

2 eggs

6 ripe bananas

1/2 cup of  309 Mānuka honey

1/2 cup oil (coconut tastes good!)

1 cup blueberries

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.

Mash 5 of the bananas (set one aside), transfer to a large bowl and which in the eggs, honey and oil.

Add the dry ingredients (through a sieve if you have one), and mix well.

Add the blueberries if desired and gently fold the batter.

Slice the remaining banana in half long-ways and place in the bottom of a pre-greased cake tin with the sliced sides facing the tin. Pour the cake mixture into the tin, over the bananas.

Bake for around 55 minutes or until a skewer/toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool, then serve up with tea or coffee.
