- 1/2 cup (125 gm/1 stick) unsalted butter, softened and diced
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) The Australian Carob Co. Carob Syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 pcs large eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups (400 gms) ripe banana mashed
- 1/3 cup (95 gms) Greek-style yoghurt
- 1 1/3 cup (375 gms) plain gluten-free flour, sifted
- 1/3 cup (35 gms) The Australian Carob Co. Roasted or Raw Carob Powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced/350°F) and lightly grease and line with baking paper a 13cm x 26cm (5¼” x 10½”), 2-litre (8 cups) loaf pan.
-
Using an electric stand mixer, beat butter, carob syrup and vanilla together until well-combined. The mixture will split but will come back together as other ingredients are added.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating until just combined. Remove mixing bowl from stand mixer and add mashed banana and yoghurt, stirring with a spatula to combine. Add flour, carob powder, baking powder, bicarb soda, cinnamon and walnuts, stirring to combine.
-
Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
