Once you've made this Spiced Banana and Hazelnut loaf recipe, you will never want to throw away another banana.  The riper the bananas are the better and sweeter the taste. Spelt flour adds a slight nutty, wholesome taste which complements the hazelnuts and spices perfectly.

Try replacing the hazelnuts with walnuts or almonds.

I prefer to grease and line my baking tins with either baking parchment or cake liners. Such as these It makes it much easier to remove the cake from the tin when baked.

This Spiced Banana and Hazelnut Loaf recipe gives you the option of using different nuts and spices. Such as Walnuts or Whole Almonds. You could also use different complementary spices such as ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg. Whatever your favourite spice, give it a try.

Can you freeze Bananas?

You can easily freeze bananas. Peel and slice them into even chunks. Lay them on a tray and freeze them individually before wrapping them or placing them into a freezer bag or container.

  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake in the centre of the oven for approx 50 minutes, or until baked, testing the centre of the cake with a skewer until it comes out cleanly.

Notes

Will keep for several days in an airtight container.
