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.

This moist fluffy cake is so quick and easy, it's often the first thing French children are taught to bake. Popular across the Mediterranean this Greek yoghurt version helps with the light airy texture. You can also mix everything into one pot so there's very little clearing up after, and the aroma of fresh baking with vanilla wafting through the house gives a warm homely feel, said Michael!
