Banana, raspberry and macadamia bread FAQ:
Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes in a preheated oven. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
A standard 9x5 inch loaf pan is recommended for this recipe. This size allows the bread to bake evenly and rise properly.
Yes, you can substitute the buttermilk with regular milk or a non-dairy milk alternative. If you don’t have macadamia nuts, walnuts or pecans can be used as a substitute.
Store the bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze slices for up to 3 months.
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the surface is golden brown. If the top browns too quickly, you can cover it with foil during baking.
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.
