This banana bread is healthy, filling and crazy delicious. Enjoy it atop a cliff during training or with coffee after an awesome workout!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 ½ cups almond meal
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¾ cup coconut oil or butter (I use coconut oil)
- ¾ cup walnuts chopped (you can roast them to add more flavour)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp raw honey (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp organic cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a 20cm x 10cm loaf tin with baking paper
- In a mix master or with beaters, cream the coconut oil, honey, eggs and vanilla
- In a large bowl mix the almond meal, walnuts and baking powder
- Add the coconut oil mixture and the mashed bananas and stir until combined
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared tim, sprinkle with extra walnuts and place in the oven for 40 -50 mins or until it springs back when you lightly touch the top
- Allow to cool before you turn out
- For bonus deliciousness, drizzle dark chocolate on top and then slice and serve!
Note: Want some fun variations? Swap one banana for one cup of blueberries or raspberries to make it berry-licious. Add 4-5 medjool dates to the mix for a banana and date loaf. Or, if you're feeling frisky, add dark chocolate chips!
