A moist banana and oat loaf, sweetened with our stevia blend.
Sweetener quantity updated. Our Stevia Blend is five times sweeter than sugar. An earlier version called for 4 tablespoons, which works out well over a cup of sugar — and with three ripe bananas in the mix, this loaf needs very little added sweetness. Taste the batter and adjust to suit you.
Ingredients
- Wholewheat flour — 1 cup
- Oats — 1 cup
- Dry ginger powder — 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda — 1 teaspoon
- Naturally Sweet Stevia Blend — 1½ tablespoons
- Vegetable oil — ½ cup
- Lemon juice — 1 tablespoon
- Thick yoghurt — 2 tablespoons
- Bananas — 3 medium, ripe
Method
- Peel and mash the bananas, mix well with the lemon juice and set aside.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Mix the oil, yoghurt and bananas, beating well.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients, folding gently, and pour into a greased loaf tin.
- Bake for 30 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 180°C. Check with a knife — it should come out clean.
Sweetener options
To replace the 1½ tablespoons of stevia blend, use about ⅓ cup of monk fruit blend or xylitol (both 1:1 with sugar), or about ½ cup of erythritol. Our conversion chart has the exact ratios.
