Breakfast time is a happy time and my Blueberry Oat Banana Bread is a treat you're going to want every morning. So save those leftover bananas and get ready to create some deliciousness in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- ½ cup of golden raisins dried blueberries or cranberries
- 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ oats
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cup very ripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- butter and flour a 9" loaf pan
- preheat the oven to 325 degrees
- place the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl and combine well with either your hands or a wooden spoon
- In a large bowl or your mixer place the sugar and melted butter and mix well, add the eggs one at a time, then add the mashed banana’s
- with your wooden spoon mix in the raisins, oats, nuts and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture a third at a time mixing well each time.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour
- Sprinkle the top of the loaf with the raw sugar. This is optional and can be left out. The raw sugar adds a nice touch to the cake but will not detract from the recipe if you don't have this on hand.
- When the bread is ready a toothpick or knife inserted into the center should come out clean there may be a little clinging to it, just not gooey batter
- Place the pan on a rack to cool for 15 minutes and then pop it out of the pan and its ready to enjoy.
Notes
regular raisins may be used instead of golden raisins, i have used currents instead of raisins also.
If your a chocolate fan, try adding some chocolate chips if you like, chocolate seems a natural pairing with banana’s, just don’t get carried away ½ cup should be plenty.
