Banana and Blueberry Tea Loaf
I made my first tea loaf the other day, we really enjoyed it. The tea loaf is loaded with fruit and very little sugar so makes a great snack :-) when hubby got back from his trip last week, he took some to work and left me a note " Cake really good, love you, good morning" now thats my kind of note made my day.
Ingredients:
- 3 oz of butter
- 8 oz of self raising flour
- 2 oz of sugar
- about 1/2 cup of blueberries or fruit of choice dried would work too
- 2 mashed banana's
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon of honey
- a handful of chopped walnuts
Method:
- grease a loaf tin
- rub the butter into the flour until it looks like bread crumbs
- then mix in the sugar, bananas, eggs and honey
- add to baking tin and stir in blueberries level with a knive, and top with chopped walnuts
- bake at 325 for one hour until risen and golden brown and a knifes out clean
- enjoy
she is super sweet and tweets in Spanish and English I have huge respect for that
Anyone else made a tea loaf ?

ReplyDeleteOh, I like the blueberries in there. I just made a batch of banana but yours is more intriguing
ReplyDeleteWhoa Rebecca this is exactly the kind of slic eI would love with my tea. I have been neglecting making anything sweet this week! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI like tea loaves or tea bread and always reduce the sugar as to me the added fruits are sweet enough.
ReplyDeleteYours look good, good combo!
Banana AND blueberries?! Sounds like a delicious combination. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Blessings, Kristy
That loaf is so light and loving. I used to make a blueberry tea loaf all the time and got out of the habit. Time to take it up again!
