Banana and Plum Loaf

My plum tree is overloaded with ripe deliciousness and I had a few very ripe bananas in the fruit bowl, so made up this lovely loaf for afternoon tea.

Banana & Plum Loaf

Ingredients

100g (approx. 1/2 cup) butter - softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 3/4 cups plain white flour
1 cup wholemeal flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
4 ripe bananas - mashed
Approx. 1 cup plums - pitted and quartered


Preheat oven to 175 degrees C.  Grease two 9x5 inch loaf tins.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar.  Beat in the eggs and vanilla essence.

In a separate bowl, sift the flours, baking powder and baking soda with the cinnamon and nutmeg.

Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in thirds, alternating with the mashed bananas until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Gently fold in the plums, and spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tins.

Bake for approx. 45 mins, or until well browned.

Enjoy!
