What you need to add to your mixing bowl

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas - medium size

• 100g coconut oil

• 75g raw cane sugar (alternatively coconut sugar)

• 1 teaspoon chia seeds

• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 1 teaspoon cardamom

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 300g flour

• 200g ground almonds

• 1 teaspoon Baking powder

• 1 pinch of salt

• 50g walnuts

• 150ml plant-based milk

Preparation

Preheat the oven to approx. 180 (fan-assisted) degrees.

Mix the bananas, coconut oil, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, and cinnamon together well. To do this, you can mash the bananas with a fork and work the spices into the banana pulp. Then add the flour, sugar, almonds, baking powder, salt as well as walnuts and plant-based milk by stirring the ingredients into the banana mixture with a wooden spoon.

The dough should have a creamy consistency. If you find that the batter has become too firm, add a little more of the plant-based milk. Now the dough is ready to be filled into a greased loaf pan and placed in the oven. 

Place the Banana and Nut Bread into the oven for about 55-60 minutes. It is ready when a knife is inserted into the centre, when you pull it out it should come away clean.

TIP: Roast the walnuts in a pan for about 5 minutes without oil, stirring occasionally so that they don't burn.

Sit back, relax and enjoy

Make yourself comfortable, whether with tea or a hot chocolate (for us preferably with marshmallows) and enjoy your banana bread before it's really cold. 

Either way, it will keep for several days in a well-sealed container and will stay nice and juicy.

Have fun trying it out and enjoy it!
