Rhubarb and white chocolate loaf

The rhubarb in my garden is going crazy right now! Turns out it really loves to be fed generously - let's be honest, who doesn't?! My freezer is jam packed with loads already, so I had to quickly come up with a way to use some. Loaf!! 🍞

Try this

Ingredients:

1 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup neutral oil (e.g. rice bran)

2 eggs

2 bananas (mashed)

1/3 cup milk (add 1 tbsp lemon juice to make it into 'buttermilk')

1 tsp @heilalavanilla paste

2 cups plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp mixed spice

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup rhubarb (raw, sliced very thinly)

200gm white chocolate (roughly chopped - I use @whittakersnzbuttermilk caramelised - the best!)

Method:

Heat oven to 175c. Whisk sugar, oil and eggs till smooth and creamy. Add the banana, vanilla and milk/lemon. Stir until mixed through. In a seperate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients then stir through the wet until JUST combined - still seeing little streaks of flour is fine. Gently fold through the rhubarb and chocolate and bake in a lined loaf tin for 30 mins, then turn down to 160 for another 15 mins. Check for done-ness and leave to cool in the tin, before turning out on a rack.

This is also amazing the next day, toasted with loads of butter 😆
