Just to spice this blog up a little, I thought I share my coming Mothers' Day plans with you! I'm abit of a health nut so I love reading on different types of diets (blood type, mediterrenean, paleo, china studies etc). All with their own theories and I think it's just about experimenting and knowing what works for you. Anyway.. I will be baking banana bread with coconut flour or almond meal (haven't decided yet hmm toughie!). It's gluten free! Low in sugar! Amazing for your gut and perfect to treat all mums on this special day we thank them for doing what they do. Check out the blog for coconut flour banana bread recipe here
You can buy coconut flour from most health shops. I actually found mine in Colonial Fresh Markets.
Who doesn't love banana bread? And now with a nutty or coconutty hint AND NO GUILT.. YUM!
Delicious Healthy Banana Bread (with almond flour)
4 ripe bananas (make sure they are somewhat black, the blacker the sweeter it turns out)1/4 cup of oil (I used olive oil but you can also use coconut oil or butter)
1 1/2 cups of almond flour
5 eggs
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cinammon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp real salt
1 tsp vainilla extract
you can add 1/2 cup of walnuts or chocolate chips if you are feeling like extra cheating!
Directions:
Preheat oven at 375 degrees.Mash the bananas until soft in a large bowl and mix in remaining ingredients. Mix well until there are no clumps.
If you want to add walnuts or raisins or chocolate you can fold them into the batter now
Grease a 5 x 10 or a loaf pan and pour the batter.
Bake for about 50 min or until you stick a toothpick or fork on top and it comes out clean. The bread will start turning brown so make sure you keep an eye on it.
Let it cool, take out of mold and cut!
Best served warm with a piece of grass fed butter or cold.
