This banana fruit loaf is one of those recipes that tastes like a few nostalgic favourites all rolled into one. Think fruit toast, raisin toast and Christmas pudding, with the soft, naturally sweet texture of banana bread. It’s cosy, lightly spiced and packed with little bursts of chewy dried fruit.

It’s also a really lovely way to use up ripe bananas. The bananas help keep the loaf soft and moist, while the warming spices and dried fruit give it that familiar fruit loaf flavour. It’s the kind of recipe that makes the kitchen smell amazing while it bakes and is just as good the next day.

Slice it thick and enjoy it plain, spread with vegan butter or serve it with your favourite age-appropriate topping. It works for breakfast, afternoon tea or a little snack, and it’s especially nice toasted when you want those crisp edges and a soft, fruity centre.
