Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly coat a loaf tin (23 x 13 cm) with cooking spray, line base and two long sides with a strip of baking paper.Step 2
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add blueberries and toss to coat.Step 3
Whisk wet ingredients (courgette, banana, milk, maple syrup, olive oil and eggs) in a separate bowl. Stir through Weet-Bix wheat biscuits to moisten.Step 4
Add wet mixture to dry, and fold until just combined to create a thick batter. Spread into prepared pan.Step 5
Bake 60 - 65 minutes, until top is firm and a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean – cover with foil during the last 20 minutes if top is browning too quickly.Step 6
Cool in tin 5 mins, then turn out on to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips
- Make the loaf ahead of time and freeze individual slices for a great mid-morning or after-school snack.
- Zucchini can be substituted with an equal quantity of grated carrot.
