Banana Honey and Seed Loaf

This is from the Australian Womens Weekly. We made it over the weekend and it was really delicious. I managed to find a seed mix already made up in the supermarket that I used. I modified slightly - did not use the raisins, used 3/4 cup mashed banana and did not sprinkle honey at the end. I have recently remade this recipe and instead of the buttermilk I added yoghurt. I used rapdura (better for you) sugar. It really is wonderful...
