Banana Bread with Prunes & Milled Flaxseed

Ingredients
  

  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup milled flaxseed
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup raisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F, and grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, milled flaxseed, baking soda and salt together with a whisk. Set it aside.
  • Add the bananas and prunes to a food processor and blitz until the prunes are quite broken down. Add the butter, white sugar and brown sugar and pulse until they are well combined.
  • Add in the lemon, milk, and eggs and pulse the machine until they are all incorporated. (You could add all the wet ingredients + sugar to a blender if you don't have a food processor. Perhaps add the prunes slowly so they don't get jammed in the blade of the blender.)
  • Pour the wet ingredients from the food processor into the bowl of the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or a spatula until they are just combined and then mix in the raisins.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 F for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when tested.
