Hummingbird Loaf

Looking for a tasty snack for the week or just feeling like baking, make this simple loaf. Great for using up extra ripe bananas and that odd tin of pineapple in the pantry. Best served lightly toasted with butter or greek yoghurt.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 cup desiccated coconut

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed

• 425g can crushed pineapple in juice, drained

• 3 eggs, whisked

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 tsp vanilla 

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. 

In a large bowl combine, flour, oats, sugar, baking soda and coconut. Mix together and make a well in the middle. Add mashed banana, drained pineapple, whisked eggs, oil, milk and vanilla. Mix to combine. 

Line a loaf tin with baking paper and pour mixture into loaf tin. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean and top is golden. 

Let cool slightly, slice and enjoy!
