THERMOMIX ® RECIPE

1 Clone of Sticky Banana, Walnut, Date and Blueberry Loaf

Recipe's preparation

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Butter or line a large loaf pan (about 23 x 13 x 16 cm). Set aside.

Put flour, bicarb soda, cinnamon and salt into TM bowl and sift for 5 seconds on speed 5. Add dates, chop for 5  seconds on speed 7. Add walnuts or pecans and chop for 3 seconds on speed 5.  Remove flour mixture to separate mixing bowl.

Put sugar in bowl and mill for 3 seconds on speed 10. Add eggs   and oil, and mix for 40 seconds on speed 6 until light and creamy. Slice banana into  bowl and add vanilla and mash for 3 seconds on speed 6.

Pour the batter mixture into the flour mixture, add Blueberries and fold in  until it forms a sloppy batter. (This can be done in the TM bowl if you wish.)  Pour into   the prepared tin and sprinkle with some seeds.

Bake for about 1 hour in a moderate oven or until the top is springy and a   fine skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.  Cool the loaf in the tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, before turning our onto the rack to cool.

It keeps well in the fridge for about 5 days, and can be frozen for up to 2   months.
