Ingredients
The following ingredients have 10 Servings
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch of fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup organic honey
- 2 organic free-range eggs
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks, optional
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350° F and line a 20 cm x 5 cm loaf tin with parchment paper hanging over the edges so you can lift it out easily.
- Chop the walnuts and toast for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Sift the spelt flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl and stir to combine.
- Mix the olive oil and honey together in a separate bowl. Add the eggs and blend well.
- Mash the bananas and add to the mixture, then add in the milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add 3/4 of the chopped walnuts and combine. Leave some to sprinkle on top. At this point, if using, add the chocolate chunks.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the surface with the moistened back of a spoon or spatula. Top with the rest of the walnuts or chocolate chunks.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
