Banana bread is such a favourite amongst families. As long as you steer clear of white flour and refined sugar, banana bread or cake is a great way of getting kids to eat fruit!
The only trouble in our family is having bananas hanging around long enough to get spotty! I have to hide a few for cooking and nurture them until they are just right to go.
I am sharing with you one of my favourite ways to make banana bread and seven other amazing recipes as well.
Your only problem is deciding which one to try first!
Berry Banana Bread
Vital Stats: Wheat Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free
Okay this is what you need:
2 cups organic spelt flour
1 tspn bicarb soda
1/2 cup organic coconut sugar
2 tablespoons NutraOrganics Acai Berry Blend (or C Berry Blast)
2 really ripe 0rganic bananas (about 120g skin off)
2 organic eggs
¾ cup organic coconut milk
1 cup chopped strawberries
Okay, this is how you do it:
Preheat oven to 160°c. Line a 11x18cm loaf tin with baking paper. Sift the flour and soda into medium bowl.
Mash the bananas and whisk in the Acai Berry Blend, eggs, sugar and coconut milk. Mix gently into the flour mixture with the strawberries until just combined.
Whack it into the tin and bake for about 40 – 50mins or until cooked through. Let cool on a rack. Enjoy.
Thermomix: Whizz the eggs, banana, coconut milk, sugar and Acai Berry Blend in the thermomix for 10 seconds on speed 7. Sift over the flour and bicarb and mix, reverse, speed 4, 5 seconds. Fold in the strawberries with a spatula gently.
What is Acai Berry Blend?
I love the flavour of this yummy superfood powder from Nutra Organics. I pretty much sprinkle it on everything!
1-3 Heaped Teaspoons of Acai Berry Blend is equivalent to 3 punnets of Berries. Acai Berry Blend combines the world’s most nutrient packed and antioxidant loaded berries, with mango, beetroot, fermented papaya and pomegrante extract to bring you a delicious and potent nutritional burst which can easily be added to your diet everyday.

Any egg free versions? My son is dairy, egg, wheat intolerant
sorry I don’t know – have you tried using ‘chia eggs’ or ‘flax eggs’ ?
if I use coconut cream instead of coconut milk, do I need to dilute and how much?
I wouldn’t worry – just use the cream as is 🙂 🙂
We are banana bread and muffin freaks in our house too! I’m going to ask….which one is your favorite??
that’s like (well nearly like) asking me to choose my favourite child!
I am absolutely loving your berry banana bread – we made it yesterday (it disappeared!) And again today – love love love it. I used rapadura as I didn’t have coconut sugar, and coconut cream – fantastic. Having now run out of strawberries will try different berries in the next batch. Maybe blackberries! Yummmmm
yay!! it’s pretty good huh! I just thought it would make a good combo!

Hi, I have just found your banana bread recipe. Before I go ahead and make it, does it matter if I omit the berries? Will I have to add something else in or will it be ok. Thanks ?
He Renee, it will be totally fine without the berries. You could add nuts or sultanas if you wanted to or just make it without.
