Yield 12 thick pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup fibre cereal (like slightly crushed bran flakes)
3/4 cup fructose (or sugar)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup blueberries or other berries
3 mashed bananas

Stir banana mixture into dry mixture. Do not over mix (otherwise mix turns purple!). Spoon into prepared loaf pan. Bake in centre of oven for 55 to 60 minutes.

Tips for Making Banana Berry Bread:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen berries, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the bread to set.

Conclusion:

Banana berry bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's also a great way to use up ripe bananas and berries. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, fruity flavor, banana berry bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
