How to Make Banana And Apricot Bread
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Lightly grease and flour a 10cm x 20cm loaf tin.
- Combine 1 cup dried apricots, ½ cup sultanas, and ¼ cup apple juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the fruit has absorbed most of the liquid.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon mixed spice. Stir in ½ cup oat bran and ¼ cup sugar substitute (or granulated sugar).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup buttermilk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold in 2 ripe mashed bananas and the cooked apricot mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the bread plain, or with a low-fat spread like a thin layer of cream cheese or nut butter.
