COOKING TIME:

This recipe is quick and easy – you can just use one mixing bowl or a food processor. Using macadamia oil instead of butter keeps the bread moist and also makes this recipe dairy free.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 ripe bananas, pealed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup of macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup macadamia oil
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 1/12 cups of flour

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a loaf pan with baking paper.
  2. In a food processor or mixing bowl combine bananas and macadamia oil, blend or stir to combine.
  3. Add the egg and mix until combined, then add sugar, cinnamon, flour and baking soda. Blend for several minutes until the mix is well combined. There may still be some small lumps of banana, which is fine.
  4. Fold through half the chopped macadamia nuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin then sprinkle remaining macadamias evenly across the top of the mixture. Gently press them in with your hands.
  6. Bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container this bread will keep for several days.
