hourA delightful twist on the classic banana bread. This Berry Banana Bread is a comforting treat with sweet and tart easy homemade mixed berry compote.
Ingredients
2–3 Ripe bananas, mashed
75 g Butter, melted
120 g Sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp Baking soda
205 g All-purpose flour
2 tbsp Homemade Mixed Berry compote, for swirling
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mash the bananas until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the melted butter, blending well to create a rich, moist base.
- Whisk in the sugar and egg, ensuring the mixture turns light and smooth.
- Sprinkle in the baking soda in the flour, stirring just enough to distribute evenly.
- Gently fold in the flour, mixing only until combined—overmixing will make the bread dense instead of fluffy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top.
- Swirl in the berry compote using a toothpick or knife, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- The riper the banana, the better! Overripe bananas bring extra sweetness and moisture to your loaf.
