Healthy Banana Bread with Weetabix

Instructions:

• Prepare Weetabix: Place Weetabix in a jug and pour over milk. Let it soften for 15 minutes until it forms a thick mush.
• Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Line a 1kg loaf tin with parchment paper or grease well.
• Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Whisk in eggs, sweetener, and the softened Weetabix mixture until well combined.
• Dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, mixed spice, and baking powder.
• Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. Fold in the dried fruit.
• Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes, then loosely cover with foil to prevent overbrowning. Continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool and serve: Let the bread cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.

Tips:

1. Ripe bananas: Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
2. Sweetener: Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste.
3. Freezing: Freeze individual slices for easy grab-and-go snacks.
