BANANA APPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 7x3-inch loaf pans.
• In a bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the melted butter with 2 cups of sugar until smooth, and mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
• Fold in the bananas, apples, and chopped walnuts until combined; do not overmix. There should be small chunks of banana visible in the batter. Pour half the batter into each prepared loaf pan.
• Mix the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of flour, and 3 tablespoons of softened butter together in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the crumb topping over each loaf. Garnish each loaf with banana and apple slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and cover each pan with aluminum foil. Return to oven, and bake an additional 15 or 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

• Once completely melted and combined and almost foaming add the chopped bananas and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the oats, turn off the heat and mix well.
• Put the mixture into an ovenproof dish lined with clingfilm (this is a chefs trick, don't worry it won't melt).
• Bake for 25 minutes, cut into squares whilst still in the dish and allow to cool until 'set'
• Now set the oven to 140C/275F.
• Carefully turn the flapjacks out of the dish and slice properly.
• Place them individually, directly onto the oven shelf and bake for around 30 minutes to allow them to caramelize and dry out a little. Bake longer for even crunchier and chewier results.
• One of life's dreams come true!
