Banana & Sunflower seed Bread

This is delicious as a snack! The recipe makes 2 loaves (I use a wiltshire silicon loaf tray) and I get 10 slices from each loaf. I then wrap them individually and pop them in the freezer. Based on 20 slices, an individual slice is worth 148 calories - which while it seems a lot all at once, its very filling with good ingredients in it and I think its worth every calorie! When making this, dont over-think it too much. Throw in anything that you like (sunflower seeds, pepitas, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, stewed pears, stewed custard apple etc).

3 cups SR flour
1 cup Muesli/oats (rolled, porridge, bircher - anything works!)
1/2 cup currants (or sultanas if you dont have currants)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 eggs
2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 cups milk
2 bananas
1 stewed apple


1. Pre-heat oven to 180C
2. Stew apple, dust in some ground cinnamon while stewing and 1 tablespoon of honey
3. Mix up dry ingredients in 1 bowl (flour, oats, currants, sunflower seeds) and wet ingredients in another smaller bowl (bananas, eggs, milk, 1tbsp honey and stewed apple)
4. Make a well in dry ingredients and slowly add wet ingredients til just combined
5. Pour into loaf tray til its 2/3 full (allow for rising)
6. Bake at 180C for 15-25 mins (or til a fork comes out clean)


Slice and serve! This is quite a moist bread so nothing extra is needed. Best served warm, but fresh at room temperature is fine as well.
