Here’s a great new recipe for you for a teabread. It’s ideal for using up those old, over-ripe bananas and it tastes AMAZING!

Banana & Raisin Teabread

Makes 2 x 450 g loaves

Ingredients:

225 g wholemeal flour
20 ml baking powder
pinch salt
5 ml ground cinnamon
150 g brown sugar
3 mashed bananas
75 g melted margarine or butter
100 g seedless raisins
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Heat oven to 180 degrees celsius. Grease 2 x 450-g loaf tins

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, and add any bran remaining in seive.

Stir in the sugar, add the bananas, margarine or butter, raisins and eggs and beat for 3 minutes until smooth.

Turn the mixture into the loaf tins and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer pierced through the centre comes out clean.

Stand the tins on a wire rack to cool slightly before turning out.

N.B. The teabread is much tastier if left to mellow for 2-3 days wrapped tightly in foil.
