This is a super dense & delicious loaf thats going to make your kitchen smell like heaven. I like it toasted with extra PB, maple and banana….ohhhhhh baby.

PART 1:

3 x mashed ripe bananas (spotty if you have them)

1/2 cup x peanut butter

1/2 cup x pure maple syrup

1/4 cup x coconut sugar

1 tsp x vanilla powder

2 x chia eggs (see notes)

1 x pinch salt

2 tsp x ground cinnamon

1/2 cup x chopped dates

1/2 cup x shredded coconut

PART 2:

3 cups x almond meal

1 1/2 tsp x baking powder

1 1/2 tsp x baking soda

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
  2. Mix all ingredients in part one in a mixing bowl
  3. Add part two and mix until combined
  4. Pour into loaf tin; I had a little bit left over so I just made some muffins on the side
  5. Optional: I sliced some extra coconut sugar and banana on top before baking so the sugar caramelised while baking
  6. Bake for 25 mins or until golden brown
  7. Enjoy!

Note: Chia Egg: this is a vegan alternative and binds the same way that a regular egg would. All you need to do it soak chia seeds in water for 15 min before use, the chia to water ratio is 1 chia egg = 1 tbsp of chia in 3 tbsp of water.
