I’m not one for food blogs which have a 3000-word preamble before it gets to the recipe. I’ll just say that this recipe was born out of not reading the original recipe properly before starting and a desire to use some things up.
Dry ingredients (mix together)
2.25 cups of spelt flour
1/2 cup of caster sugar
1.5 teaspoons of no sodium baking powder (a mixture of cream of tartar and potassium bicarbonate)
Wet ingredients
3 very ripe bananas mashed
2 eggs beaten in
2 teaspoons of blackstrap molasses
1 cup of yoghurt (I used a passionfruit & natural yoghurt that needed to be used up, but use what you like)
Add all of the above to the dry ingredients and combine – add to a loaf tin. Place into a preheated oven (gas mark 5 or so) and cook until, well cooked (knife comes out clean). I didn’t time it but I think it was about 40 minutes. I checked after 20 and it wasn’t cooked so I put some foil over the top to stop it burning.
Remove from oven and then leave to cool. This is quite a sour/bitter recipe in part because I didn’t use much sugar, and from the molasses. The yoghurt adds a tartness too.
