Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 4 medjool dates, pitted
- 3 overly ripe, medium sized bananas
- 1/3 cup coconut flour (or spelt flour for non gluten free)
- 1/3 cup almond meal
- 2 tbsp cacao (optional)
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut (optional)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla
- 1/2 tbsp brown rice malt syrup or pure maple syrup or preferred natural sweetener (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (aluminium free)
Directions:
- Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on a medium setting (enough to mince the dates to a smooth consistency)
- Grease a loaf tin with organic butter or coconut oil
- Pour the banana bread into the pan and bake on 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Enjoy, served warm with butter.
Notes
- If your blender is not strong, soak the dates in water first for an hour or so to soften
- I’ve updated the recipe to include maple syrup rather than castor sugar, and reduced the quantity. It worked equally well, with the added nutrients offered by using maple syrup.
