Banana, Hazelnut and Walnut Loaf

Banana, Hazelnut and Walnut Loaf

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 350g hazelnut meal
  • 125g crumbed walnuts
  • 1 cup gluten-free SR flour
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ½ tspn baking powder
  • ¼ tspn baking soda
  • ½ tspn vanilla essence

Method:

Mash the bananas. Add wet ingredients and nuts, then mix. Sift flour, baking powder and soda then add to mixture. Mix until combined.

Pour into a lined, greased loaf tin. Cook at 160˚ C for 50 minutes. Check that mixture is cooked by inserting a metal skewer in the loaf. If it comes out clean, remove from oven. If not, return to oven until cooked.

When cooled turn out onto a cooling rack.

Notes:

  • I like this recipe because it is low GI and fills me.
  • Hazelnut meal can be replaced with almond meal and seeds such as sunflower or pepitas can replace the walnuts.
  • Cherries also work well as a substitute for bananas, although the texture is a little drier.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or rice syrup.

Enjoy!
