Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. In In a food processor, whizz the apple, eggs, honey, 3 mashed bananas, yogurt and both oils to a smooth, runny batter. Add the rest of the ingredients and a pinch of salt and whizz until just combined. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Arrange the banana halves on top of the batter, then bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean.
- Leave the loaf to cool in its tin on a wire rack. When completely cool, turn out. Brush the banana halves with a little honey to give them a shine.
- Serve, cut into slices, toasted, buttered and drizzled with honey, if you like.
