Gaby's Bakery - Banana Loaf

Gaby's Bakery - Banana Loaf

A regular of mine for home and salon. Super healthy or super quick but very easy.

Banana Loaf
Gluten free, sugar free

Ingredients:
300gms overripe bananas
200gms ground almonds
60gms maple syrup or honey
60gms olive oil
40gms desiccated coconut
25gms ground flaxseed
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 eggs

Method:

Preheat oven to 160⁰C.
Prepare a loaf tin but greasing it or using a loaf tin liner. Beat bananas, then add the honey, oil, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla, bicarb of soda and lemon juice - the lemon juice activates the bicarb, and continue to beat to combine all.

Add the almonds, coconut and flaxseed and mix well. Place batter in the prepared tin then bake for 50 – 60 mins, a skewer should come out clean. This is quite a wet batter so it tends to need slightly longer and won’t dry out so much!

Enjoy.

This is the most common mistake I see in hairdressing. It’s a simplistic one-length Bob with another Bob hacked out 4 or 5 inches up. Absurd? Yes! But...
