Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Banana Bread<\/h3>\n

3 large bananas
\n120g demerera sugar
\n125g melted butter
\n160g self-raising flour
\n60g porridge oats
\n1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
\nSpices of your choosing<\/p>\n

Topping<\/h3>\n

1 handful of walnuts
\n2 Tbsp Demerera Sugar
\na little of the melted butter from above<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seeing as the Oaty Banana Muffins<\/a> I made a couple of time last week went down so well I thought I’d modify the recipe a little and make a banana bread recipe today instead. It’s very similar really, but baked as a loaf rather than muffins and with a pinch of ‘Baharat’ to spice it up a little.<\/p>\n

The Baharat was a freebie with a recent order from thespicery.com<\/a>. It’s a seasoning used throughout the Arab world that is a blend of paprika, cassia, black pepper, cumin, coriander, cloves and nutmeg. I also added a fair amount of freshly grated nutmeg myself as well. The first few spices seem a little unusual for a sweet dish but I don’t think there is a huge amount of them in the blend. Therefore if you don’t have Baharat then just some nutmeg and cinnamon would do the trick and be just as nice.<\/p>\n

I even\u00a0remembered to take some photos of the process today.<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat the oven to 180\u00baC.<\/li>\n
  2. Mash 3 bananas in a large bowl until they form a banana puree.\n\t\t
