Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line the base of a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, add to the bowl with the lemon zest, vanilla and buttermilk, and stir.

• When you are ready to serve, take the raspberry compote out of the fridge to bring to room temperature. Slice the cooled banana bread into 8 pieces and toast under a medium grill until lightly caramelised. Serve each slice with a spoonful of vanilla ricotta and a drizzle of raspberry compote.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 1/2 x 4-inch loaf pan with baking parchment. I make sure that the paper overlaps a little bit, which makes it much easier to remove the loaf from the pan once it is cooked.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until nicely combined. Add the eggs in two batches, beating well between each addition. The mixture won't quite look its best, but it will soon come good! Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and baking powder and stir through until nicely mixed in. Then stir the bananas in, followed by a gentle fold in of the raspberries.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, smooth it out a bit with the back of a spoon and then sprinkle the oats evenly over the top. Bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when the loaf is pierced in the center.
• Leave to cool in the pan for a few minutes before lifting out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack. The loaf will stay at its best for 1 to 2 days when stored in an airtight container.
