Leanne S Miller asked:
Spring is here in Australia and at Organic Island we’re out and about enjoying it.
There’s lots of hype about “organic food”, so I thought I’d share my favourite recipe using organic ingredients sourced from my local market (Nundah).

Here’s my favourite organic recipe – I hope you enjoy!
Organic Banana Bread (Gluten Free)
I picked up this recipe while working in the USA.
I became addicted to the Banana Bread my colleague’s mother used to make. She loved to cook great food with great friends. This was one of the easiest recipes and
was an excellent staple for a busy week ahead – perfect for spring. This can also be used for packed lunches or a day outside with family.
Ingredients
2 ½ cups gluten free all-purpose flour mix
2 tsp gluten free baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon & nutmeg
1 cup brown sugar
100g shredded coconut
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 egg whites
300ml milk
50g butter, melted
2 Organic medium ripe bananas, mashed
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a 10cm X 23cm loaf tin with baking paper.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon & nutmeg into a bowl. Stir in the
sugar and coconut and make a well in the centre.
3. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk and butter, pour into the well
and stir until just combined. Fold in the mashed bananas.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 1 ¼ hrs or until a
skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre.
5. Serve warm, cold or toasted, with your favorite spread (I’ve seen both
organic strawberry jam, Vegemite and butter used with great enjoyment)
