Nadia Lims’ Sugar free Banana Loaf

Recipe
Written By Lisa Pomare

I had to share this recipe which is made weekly in our house to be eaten as a decedent breakfast, afternoon tea treat with a herbal tea or as an after dinner healthy dessert.

Ingredients

  • 125 g butter or coconut oil melted

  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed

  • 1½ cups desiccated coconut

  • 1 cup ground almonds

  • ½ cup flour (e.g. plain, spelt, gluten-free)

  • 1 level teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence or extract

  • good pinch salt

  • 3 eggs whisked

  • 1 banana to garnish (optional)

  • pinch ground cinnamon to garnish (optional)

  • Dark chocolate chips or roughly cut up Dark chocolate

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

  • In a large bowl, mix melted butter/oil, mashed banana, coconut, ground almonds, flour, baking soda, vanilla, salt and eggs. Stir until combined.

  • Spoon mixture into prepared loaf tin. Peel and cut remaining banana (if using) in half lengthways and arrange a banana half on top of each loaf. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaf is golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

  • Leave loaves to cool in tins for 5-10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack.

  • Can be sliced and frozen to have on hand for lunches as required. Delicious warm with a small amount of butter.
