Wonder in a bowl - Banana Bread! ! sahara360alive! EQUIPMENT! Blender / Mill to make seed or nut meal! Bowl! Measuring cups! Loaf Tin! Baking Paper! ! CAKE INGREDIENTS! 2 very ripe bananas 1/3 cup melted coconut oil! 1 egg - whisked! 1/2 cup sugar = optional! 1 tsp vanilla essence! 1 tsp baking powder! 1 1/2 cup of flour or nut or seed meal - see tip below! ! TIPS:! • Source organic, good quality ingredients - don't skimp on the eggs, who wants eggs from stressed out chickens! not me. ! • Use black bananas - let them get way ripe - then you are using natural sugars, instead of adding sugar in.! • If you are in a cold environment - give your coconut oil a hot water bath = place the coconut container in hot water whilst getting all the ingredients out and prepped.! • Sugar - if you are new to cutting out sugar try the recipe with 1/2 cup then 1/4 cup and then none.! • Sugar choices: coconut sugar, rapadura sugar or raw honey, maple syrup - I suggest using only 1/4 cup for liquid sweeteners.! • Flour - I use 1 cup mix of seed meal: sunflower, pepita, flaxseed, buckwheat to make it school friendly + 1/2 cup of wholemeal spelt flour. You can make it 100% on nut or seed meal - it will be very moist and you can increase to 2 cups and 2 eggs.! • Mill your own seeds or nuts fresh! • Use activated seeds or nuts for maximum nutrition and ease of digestibility.! ! ! ! ! RECIPE! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn the oven on 180C/356F or if a hot or fan forced oven put on 170C/ 338F! Mill any seeds or nuts fresh into flour.! Get your loaf tin out and line with baking paper.! Grab your bowl for some banana bread making! Mash the bananas with a fork in the bowl or if making with kids - getting them to mash on a plate maybe easier! 6. Add in coconut oil. Mix through.! 7. Add in a whisked egg - I do this with a fork in a small bowl. Mix through.! 8. Optional = Add sugar in. Mix through.! 9. Add in vanilla essence. Mix through.! 10.
