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

The word ‘healthspan’ has been absorbed into our daily lexicon. It pops up as often as lifespan now as the movement to maximise health progresses. Healthspan is the length of time a person is healthy, not just alive, and was coined by gerontologists in a 1987 Science article. A period of life in which you are healthy and free from chronic disease or disability.
