Ingredients:

1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
2 eggs
100g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 bananas
240g
1/2 cup hazelnuts
60g
1/2 cup oats
44g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, chai spice mix, oats, and roughly chopped hazelnuts. Stir until well blended.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then add the milk, olive oil, and mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir the mixture gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the bread light and fluffy.
5. Pour into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Prepare Honey Topping:
While the bread is baking, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan or microwave until it is just thin enough to drizzle.
8. Add Honey Topping:
After removing the bread from the oven, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack. While the bread is still slightly warm, drizzle the warm honey over the top, allowing it to seep into the loaf for a sticky, sweet finish.
9. Cool Completely:
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. This will help the flavors to meld together and the bread to firm up.
10. Serve:
Slice and serve the chai banana bread. Enjoy it plain or with a spread of butter!

Tips:

- Be sure to use ripe bananas as they lend more sweetness and moisture to the bread.

- If you prefer a stronger chai flavor, you can add a teaspoon of chai spice mix to the batter.

- Coarsely chop the hazelnuts for a nicer texture in each bite.

- Let the bread cool completely before adding the sticky honey glaze to ensure it sets properly.

- Store the bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh for several days.

Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or toasted with a smear of butter, this Chai banana bread with sticky honey and hazelnut topping is sure to become a favorite. The combination of flavors and textures creates a satisfying and memorable treat that's sure to please family and friends. Happy baking!
