Ingredients

  • Barley flour 1 cup
  • Bananas 4 medium mashed with a fork
  • Flax meal 1 tbsp
  • Fresh thick yogurt 2 tbsp
  • Vanilla extract 1 tsp
  • Cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp
  • Water 3 tbsp
  • Baking soda 1/2 tsp
  • Baking powder 1/8 tsp
  • Coconut sugar 1/2 c
  • Raspberries 1/2 c
  • Canola oil 1/4 c
  • Hershey's chocolate nuggets 10 broken or
  • Chocolate chips 65g see notes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 C.
  • Grease two mini loaf pans with oil or butter. I used non stick pans for this.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and mix well using a whisk.
  • Place the raspberries in this and toss well.
  • In another large mixing bowl, place the mashed banana, sugar, oil, yogurt and vanilla and mix well until you see no streaks of yogurt. I recommend using an electric whisk for this.
  • Mix 1 tbsp flax meal with 3 tbsp water using a whisk and add this to the banana mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Now, add the flour and raspberries mixture to the wet mixture and fold in gently using a spatula until you see no more streaks of flour.
  • Add chocolate nuggets to the batter and mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pans till 3/4th full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. This will not take more than 35 mins.
  • Let cool completely once done.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

1. You may use normal white sugar in place of coconut sugar. My bread is brown because of the sugar i have used.
2. If you choose to bake this as a single loaf in a regular 9" by 11" pan, this will take longer to bake, that is, anywhere between 40 to 50 mins. The bread may also brown too much if you bake it this way. I suggest covering the pan with foil after the 30 min mark if you choose to bake this in a large loaf pan.
3. Use 3 tbsp of any non dairy milk and 65g of vegan chocolate chips to make this a vegan bread.
4. I insist on tossing the raspberries in the flour to prevent them from sinking.
