Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add the sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and olive oil to the mashed bananas.
- Whisk together until well-combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve the banana, raspberry, and macadamia bread as a delicious snack or breakfast treat.
Tips:
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar; let it sit for a few minutes to curdle.
- Gently fold in the raspberries to prevent them from breaking up too much and turning the batter pink.
- Toasting the macadamia nuts beforehand can bring out their flavor even more.
- Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs when the bread is ready.
This banana, raspberry, and macadamia bread is an easy and delicious way to use up ripe bananas while treating yourself to a unique flavor combination. With its moist texture and delightful taste, it’s sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy a slice with your morning coffee or as a sweet treat any time of the day!
