Tip:
- For texture and flavour, you need to use very ripe bananas, you’ll need about 2 bananas.
- Use Creative Gourmet frozen blueberries instead of raspberries if preferred.
- If you don’t have the exact sized loaf pan, use one with similar dimensions.
- The loaf is best made a day in advance if toasting slices as it is easier to slice and toast. It keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
