Banana Bran Bread

Ingredients

1 cup wholemeal flour

1/2 cup self raising flour

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

60g (2 oz) butter

1/4 cup raw sugar

1 egg beaten

1/2 cup of buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

1 cup bran cereal

1 ripe banana diced

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C or 400°F.

Stir dry ingredients into a bowl. In a small saucepan, melt butter, remove from heat, and add sugar, egg and milk. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add vanilla.

Add bran cereal and allow to stand a few minutes until bran softens. Stir this mixture all at once into sifted ingredients, mixing with a fork just enough to moisten the flour. Do not overmix.

Put into a greased loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until cooked through. Serve warm, buttered.
