Wholefood Simply Banana Bread

I did it! I made a more healthful version of banana bread which will become a family staple, this is the stuff I will be bringing my kids up on!

INGREDIENTS

3 medium to large ripe bananas

8 dates, seeds removed

3 tablespoons of tahini or nut/seed butter of your choice (I used peanut butter as that is all I had at the time)

juice of 1/2 a lemon

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted

1 teaspoon bicarb soda

4 eggs

pinch of salt

METHOD

• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celcius 
• Grease and line your loaf tin
• Blend the bananas and dates together until smooth
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined
• Pour mixture into the prepared tin
• Bake for 45 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out cleanly

TIPS

• I let my bananas turn truly black (even leave them out on the balcony table for a few extra days!) then store them in the freezer
• I was worried that without alot of flour there would not be enough mix but it fills the loaf tin perfectly! 
• I decorated the top of my banana bread with some 'scrap nuts' and coconut I had in my baking cupboard, it did not burn at all during cooking, just went nice and toasty.
