Delicious banana bread with dried fruit

A simple recipe for using up ripe bananas. Together with dried fruit, you will have a delicious banana bread in no time, which is also a great source of energy!

Preparation

Bring the water to the boil. In the meantime, cut the dried fruit into 5 mm pieces and place in a small bowl. Pour the hot water over the dried fruit pieces and let them steep for 15 minutes.
Crush the peeled bananas, e.g., with a potato masher. Mix the oil and xylitol with the bananas.
Now add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla and stir everything thoroughly.
Take the dried fruit out of the water by hand and squeeze it out. Collect the water it was soaking in and enjoy as a delicious drink.
Mix the dried fruits into the banana batter.
Grease a loaf tin and pour the dough into it.
Bake the banana bread on the second bottom shelf of a preheated fan oven at 170°C for 50 minutes.
After 40 minutes, cover the cake with aluminium foil, otherwise it can turn a little dark.

Variations instead of dried fruit:
- 100 g chopped dark chocolate; or
- 2 tbsp frozen blueberries; or
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts
