Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 55 minutes
Serves: 6 - 8
Ingredients
- 100g coconut flour
- 1tsp. gluten free baking powder
- 1tsp. cinnamon powder
- 225g very ripe bananas
- 75g Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 50g Lucy Bee Coconut Sugar
- 100g nut butter – I have used almond and peanut butter, both work well
- 4 medium eggs
- Optional: Large handful of walnuts to stir through
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, gas mark 4. Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper (I cheat and buy cake liners!).
- Sift Coconut Flour, baking powder and cinnamon powder into a mixing bowl.
- Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the flour mixture and place the whites in to a separate bowl.
- Whisk the eggs whites until stiff and set aside.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the flour mixture.
- Now whisk the flour ingredients, until blended together. Fold in the egg whites (you don’t have to be too careful with this, as you will not end up with a light fluffy cake, it is more of a loaf) (and the optional walnuts).
- Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 50 - 55 minutes. Test with a sharp knife or skewer to check if cooked - it should come out clean when inserted into the loaf.
- This tastes great served warm or cold. Try adding to your lunch box for a snack.
You can make it with or without walnuts
Enjoy!
