Quick Banana Chocolate and Walnut Loaf – spelt or khorasan or gluten free

Quick Banana Chocolate and Walnut Loaf – spelt or khorasan or gluten free

This is a banana bread extraordinaire,  soft, moist and caramely, the secret is using bananas which have been left to ripened with brown spots all over them. I use Billington Light Muscovado sugar which is unrefined cane sugar but you can use organic raw, rapadura or palm/coconut sugar, which will give you a slightly denser texture but won’t change its delicious taste.

It takes just under 2 minutes to mix in your Magimix CE Food Processor. This loaf batter is runny so do not panic!

You can also make this glutenfree by substituting the flour with your preferred glutenfree flour mixture.

You will need a medium size heavy bread baking tin, mine measures 11cm wide x 25cm length x 10cm height
