Banana, berry and walnut loaf (Low fat, no-added sugar, whole grain)

Banana, berry and walnut loaf

This loaf is low in fat and only contains the sugar that is found naturally in the ingredients.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups wholemeal flower
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp stevia powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped

2 eggs
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup frozen mixed berries
3 over ripe bananas, mashed

Method:

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees.
Whisk eggs in a bowl and add skim milk, bananas and berries.
Sift flour into separate bowl and add the remaining dry ingredients.
Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined.
Do not over-mix as this will develop the gluten and result in a tough, chewy bread.
Pour mixture into a greased, non-stick loaf tin (you can see the size i used in the picture of the finished product).
Cook for 35-45 minutes (depending on your oven). You will know it is ready when a skewer inserted in the centre, comes out clean. Allow to cool, then slice with a serrated knife.

The protein i used (seen in the photo above) is from Mike's Discount Vitamins and Supplements at Burwood. You can order it (and loads of other great stuff) at: http://www.supplementsonline.com.au/
