Fibre Rich Banana Bread

This is a brilliant one to have to hand. It mixes all in one bowl, you can put in whatever u have to hand and it uses up all those lovely healthy bananas that make the daily trip to school only to come home again in the lunchbox, brown and rejected 🍌🥹

  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • (You can also use butter or olive oil)
  • (You can also use butter or olive oil)
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 2/3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup wholemeal spelt flour (I used @thelittlemillcompany)
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup bran **
  • Handful of chocolate chips Handful of chopped nuts

** You can substitute all of these for just an extra 3/4 cup of spelt flour, but this mix gives you lots of extra fibre and nutrients

Mix all your wet ingredients in a bowl; oil, maple,eggs, milk, vanilla, and banana.

Add dry ingredients and fold in thoroughly; baking soda, flours, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and nuts.

Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake at 180C for 50-60 mins until golden brown and cooked in the centre.

You can also bake in the air fryer at 180C for 40-50 mins.

Let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. It will be easier to slice.

Delicious on its own or spread with jam and peanut butter.

Are you a sucker for savoury

Are you a sucker for savoury? Love a salty snack? Well, this is a fabulous quick recipe that uses the parts of the spud you normally compost.

The humble spud, especially its skin, is packed full of fibre, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, and potassium, to name a few. Next time you’re making mash,hold onto your skins and try this recipe.

Peel your spuds leaving some potato on the skin, I find a sharp knife better for this job than a peeler. Wash thoroughly. Dry with kitchen roll. Then spray with oil, season with salt, or any flavouring you like. Then cook in air fryer for 15-20 mins or until crispy, shaking halfway through cooking.

These are delicious with a sour cream dip or with grated cheese melted on top like nachos. A delicious way to up your fibre intake whilst also cutting down on food waste.
