Banana Bread with Honey, Ricotta & Berries

Serves 12

Ingredients

Cooking spray
3/4 cup wholemeal flour
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup frozen egg whites (or 2 large fresh egg whites)
3 large bananas, mashed
1 cup cauliflower and apple puree
1tsp pure vanilla extract

Cauliflower and apple puree
In a pot, place 2 peeled and sliced apples and half a cauliflower. When cooker, puree
using a stick blender. This should make 4 cups, I usually freeze the portions in ziplock
bags with the date and title.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Coat a loaf tin (I used an 8 mini loaf tin) with
cooking spray

Mix the flours, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon and set aside

In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar and oil until well combined. Add egg whites, banana,
cauliflower puree and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 55 minutes for a full
loaf or 20-25 for mini loaves.
