I promise I don’t make banana bread ALL the time! But the Banana-Sultana Bread I made was pretty delicious (if I do say so myself!) so there was only one thing to do – make it again! But this time…Banana-Carrot Bread. Warning: More-ish…
This is my adapted version of a recipe from one of the booklets I received from the dietitian when I first started on the diet, courtesy of King’s College London. Their recipes ‘keep it simple’ – now that sounds familiar… very much my approach! 🙂
Ingredients:
250g gluten-free self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
125g grated carrot
4 bananas
2 eggs
1 tbsp golden syrup
100ml vegetable oil
Scattering of pumpkin seeds
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Mash the bananas, then mix with the golden syrup.
2. Add to this the eggs (already whisked) and the oil. Mix everything together.
3. Add the flour and baking powder, mixing well. Finally, add the carrots and mixed spice.
4. Then pop the mixture into a lined/greased loaf tin, scattering the pumpkin seeds on top. Into the oven it goes…
5. 40 minutes later (or until cooked), take out the oven. Then allow the bread to cool – taking out of the tin after a couple of minutes of cooling.
6. When cool enough to slice (or for as long as you can wait), enjoy a taste while it’s still warm (nothing beats it!).
7. Store in an airtight tin or freeze, to enjoy again and again – I sliced before freezing for an easier life, as with the Nana-Sultana Bread!
You can see the orange tint that the bread has – and it’s all natural! The banana/carrot/mixed spice combo is a good’un. A minimal-prep, maximum flavour recipe – oh and your kitchen will smell divine!
Enjoy! xo
