Banana & Oat Bread

Last week at the farmers market bananas were cheap so of course we bought too many.  I peeled and froze a few for ice cream and banana fritters and used the leftovers to make this delicious cake.  Enjoy 🙂

• 2 1/3 cups wholemeal plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon bi carb soda
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup oil ( I used coconut oil today)
• 1/2 cup milk (any variety is fine)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats

Sift flour, baking powder, bi carb and cinnamon together.  In a separate bowl whisk together syrup, eggs, oil and milk.  Pour wet ingredients into sifted flour and mix until just combined.  Gently fold through mashed banana.  Pour cake batter into a loaf tin and sprinkle oats over the top.  Bake in a 180 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until firm to the touch.  This cake freezes very well.  Simple slice and wrap in plastic wrap then freeze.
