Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder. Set aside.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the melted butter and continue to beat until well incorporated.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure the bread stays tender.
5. Add Bananas and Passionfruit: Fold in the mashed bananas and the passionfruit pulp gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Incorporate the Raspberries: Carefully fold in the raspberries, being cautious not to crush them too much, to avoid making the batter too watery.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
9. Serve: Slice and serve your delicious passionfruit and raspberry banana bread. Enjoy as a breakfast treat, snack, or dessert!

Passionfruit and raspberry banana bread FAQ:

What is the baking time for the Passionfruit and Raspberry Banana Bread?

Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60-70 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

How do I know when the banana bread is done?

The banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs. If there's wet batter, additional baking time may be needed.

Can I substitute self-raising flour for all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-raising flour. However, you'll need to add about 1-2 teaspoons of baking powder to achieve similar leavening.

How should I store leftover banana bread?

Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

What if I don't have buttermilk?

If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful bread.

- Gently fold in the raspberries to avoid breaking them and distributing the juices unevenly.

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; it should come out clean or with a few dry crumbs.

- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
