Peanut butter, banana & raspberry loaf

This delicious loaf makes from a fantastic breakfast, lunch box filler or afternoon snack. We are LOVING this one lately. It can be tricky to find something both my children like but this one is a winner (for the moment haha).

The versatile batter can also be used to make muffins or even a cake. Baking times for these other options are listed below the recipe.

I originally created this recipe for my friends at GoodFor in Auckland. Their plastic free approach to pantry items is super inspiring. Check them out HERE. (You can even shop online)

Have wonderful week! The temperature has really dropped in Auckland today and I’m starting to dream of cosy Autumn meals. Hugs, Kelly xo

Peanut Butter, Banana & Raspberry Loaf

2 ripe bananas - peeled and sliced

4 free range eggs

1/2 cup peanut butter (I prefer to use smooth)

1/4 cup sugar (I like to use organic golden sugar)

2 1/2 cups almond meal

1/4 cup tapioca starch

2 teaspoons vanilla essence

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1 cup frozen raspberries (do not thaw beforehand!)

Additional 1/2 cup frozen raspberries for topping 

Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius

Place the bananas, eggs, peanut butter, sugar and half the almond meal into a food processor. Blitz until smooth.

Add the rest of the almond meal, tapioca starch, vanilla essence, baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Combine well.

Remove the blade from the food processor and gently stir through the raspberries with a spoon.

Pour mixture into a 23cm loaf tin that has been well greased or lined.

Sprinkle the remaining raspberries on top of the batter.

Bake for 60-70 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean when inserted. Wait until the loaf is completely cool before slicing.

Will last 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

To make 12 muffins - bake for 20-30 minutes

To make a cake - bake for 60-70
