Ginger & Raisin Banana Bread

Gorgeous wintery flavours!

Banana bread is just a classic, such a great comfort food.

Paired with ginger and raisins it just brings it to another level!

I can't make this very often otherwise I think I'll turn into a piece of banana bread. It never lasts very long in our house!

How do we do it?

---

You just need to make this, honestly, go do it and get it in your face with a nice cuppa.

Recipe

• 4 Ripe Bananas

• 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (vegetable oil also works)

• 1/4 Cup Plant Based Milk ( I used almond)

• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (coconut sugar also works)

• 2 Cups Plain Flour

• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

• 1 tsp Cinnamon

• 1 tsp Baking Soda

• Handful of raisins

• 3 balls of stem ginger

Method

1. Heat oven to 180°C.

2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl.

3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well to ensure everything is combined. Ensure the stem ginger is chopped finely.

4. Grease a loaf tin and pour in your cake batter. You can decorate the top of your cake batter with extra slices of banana.

5. Place on the top shelf of the oven and cook for around 45minutes.

6. When the top is nice and browned, cover the cake with foil and cook for another 15-20 minutes if needed.

7. Insert a clean knife into the centre of the cake, if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs the cake is ready, if not, then leave a little longer.

8. Remove tin from oven, tip the cake out of the loaf tin and place on a cooling rack.

9. Once cooled cut into slices and enjoy!

Tips

Using ripe bananas is preferable as they will be sweeter and easier to mash.

Chop up the ginger finely and ensure you mix everything well so the raisins don't sink to the bottom.

If decorating the top of the cake with banana, ensure you press it down slighly into the batter

Keep an eye on the cake when it's cooking. It's quite a thick consistency so will take a while to cook through. Give it enough time and ensure you check it with a knife before removing from oven. Using the foil will help the centre cook whilst protecting the top from burning.
