Vegan Banana Bread
What's great about it
This delicious sunshine in a loaf is featured in my new Healthy Baking cookbook. A tropical take on the classic banana bread, this vegan version uses desiccated coconut and almond meal to create a lusciously sweet and nutty flavour. It is also gluten-free and egg free, making it perfect for anyone with a food allergy or intolerance.
Ingredients
450 g (15 3/4 oz) smashed banana
60 ml (2 oz / 1/4 cup) organic maple syrup
60 ml (2 oz / 1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil or macadamia nut oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
180 g (6 oz ) desiccated coconut
180 g (6 oz ) almond meal
Method
- Preheat your oven to 160°C fan-forced (320°F).
- Combine banana, maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
- Add coconut and almond meal and mix well.
- Spoon mixture into a lined loaf tin.
- Bake for 1 hour until cooked through – test with a skewer rest before removing from the oven.
