INGREDIENTS:

• 3 bananas, mashed
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 3 free range eggs
• 1/2 cup Natvia (stevia) or granulated sweetener of choice
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp natural vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp each of allspice, ground ginger & baking powder
• 1 additional banana, sliced lengthways, to garnish

METHOD:

1. Preheat oven to 180.
2. In a medium bowl, combine wet ingredients.
3. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour wet into the centre, while mixing until well combined.
5. Pour into loaf tin, and lay over the two banana halves, pressing down until they sit into the batter.
6. Bake for approximately 50-55 minutes, until an inserted toothpick removes cleanly.

Tips:
Freeze pre-cut slices in cling film for up to a month.
Top with a sprinkling of oats, coconut flakes and quinoa for an extra crunchy topping.
