By: Rachael Tucker
Ingredients
210 grams self raising flour
1x tsp baking powder
1/2x tsp cinnamon
approx 5 x over ripe large bananas (total of 387 grams) (tip: the more over-ripe/black the bananas are the sweeter the loaf!)
50 grams olive oil
2x tbsp flaxseed meal
Directions
Step 1Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/150 fan/gas mark 3 and line a tin loaf (11cm wide x 23cm long).
Step 2In a bowl, mash all over-ripe bananas until smooth. Then mix in the olive oil and flaxseed meal. Fold through the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, cinnamon into the wet mixture bowl until combined.
Step 3Pour mixed batter into the prepared tin loaf. Ensure your tin loaf isn’t too small else the banana bread will not completely cook. Place the tin into the middle of the oven for approx 40-45 minutes, until the centre is cooked. Leave the bread to cool in tin for 10min, then remove from tin and place on a wired rack until completely cooled down, then slice. Freezer friendly for up to 3 months.
Hi there, my name is Rachael! I am an Australian food blogger, recipe creator, fitness fanatic and a Baby Led Weaning advocate! Wife to my supportive husband, Paul, and mum of 2 kiddies Ava and Lewis who were 100% baby led weaned from 6 months old. I started this website because there was very little information out there about baby led weaning when I started. I wanted to simplify it all into one place.
I was absolutely petrified about baby led weaning especially choking, I was not sure how to cut/cook and serve foods to my babies, but now I have done it I can't emphasis enough all the positives of baby led weaning and now having fuss-free eating kids.
My website is here to give you the confidence and resources to learn more about baby led weaning. Including: healthy easy recipes for babies 6 months old+, babies readiness signs, choking hazards, foods to avoid in the first 12 months, my starter tips, research and allergies and much more... I also have an e-book which includes a 4 Week Baby Led Weaning Meal Plan with over 40+ easy healthy recipes (Paediatric Dietitian approved), and my second e-book (which will be plant-based) will be out soon 2020!
Happy weaning!
