Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas, plus 1 extra for topping
- 3 organic eggs
- 2 tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup, plus extra for topping
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cold-pressed coconut oil
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups almond meal
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 160°C and line a baking tin with baking paper.
- In a food processor, blend the banana, eggs, honey, vanilla, coconut oil and baking powder until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the almond meal and chia seeds until well combined. Gently fold through the walnuts.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared baking tin, smoothing the top.
- Slice the remaining banana lengthwise and arrange the halves on top. Drizzle with honey for a caramelised finish.
- Bake for 60–70 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the tin before carefully lifting it out.
- TIP:To quickly ripen a banana, place it in a brown paper bag with a apple at room temperature. Refrigerate only ripe bananas, as the cold slows the ripening process.
