I have always been a lover of banana bread but try to avoid buying it in cafes as it is filled with oil, butter and sugar. This little beauty is super healthy, but doesn’t taste it. Hallelujah! The whole family, including Grandparents love it! I make it weekly and no slice ever ends up in the freezer!!!*
Ingredients:
3 eggs (alternatively 1 cup of apple sauce)
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup raw honey
1 cup fresh blueberries (or raspberries)
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch Of Cinnamon
Instructions:
• Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius, fan forced
• Line a small loaf tin with baking paper
• Using a medium size mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork
• On a plate or chopping board use a fork to mash the bananas
• Minus the blueberries, mix all of the ingredients with a wooden spoon in the mixing bowl with the eggs
• Gently fold in the blueberries
• Pour into pre-lined tin
• Bake in oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until brown. (Just depending on the heat of your oven) Insert a skewer into the centre of the loaf, if it comes out clean, it is ready.
• Remove from oven and leave in tin for 10 minutes
• Remove from tin and cool on wire rack
• Cut yourself a sneaky piece to enjoy hot off the press whilst the remainder of the loaf cools!!
Bon appetite!
*NB: I like to slice the loaf, let cool and then individually wrap in cling wrap. That way they’re easy for the whole family to grab and go. Whatever pieces are not going to be consumed within 24 hours, pop in the fridge. If you’re only making for 1-2 people, pop some slices in the freezer. You can then either let defrost to room temperature or defrost in the microwave by removing the cling wrap and wrapping in paper towel ❤️ 👩🏼🍳
