Takes

Serves 10

Ingredients
 

  • 100 g chocolate chips or chocolate chopped into chips
  • 200 g white flour white spelt, buckwheat, or gluten-free flour
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bread soda bicarbonate of soda
  • 120 ml sunflower or coconut oil
  • 150 g liquid sweetener such as maple syrup, agave syrup, or brown rice syrup
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 6 tbsp water
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 50 g walnuts roughly chopped or crushed

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Flax Mixture: In a glass or cup, combine the ground flaxseeds and water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, until it forms a gel-like consistency.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and bread soda. Stir to combine.
  • Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a blender, add the peeled bananas, sunflower or coconut oil, liquid sweetener, and the flax mixture. Blend until smooth.
    If you don’t have a blender, simply mash the bananas in a bowl and thoroughly mix in the other wet ingredients until smooth.
  • Mix the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
  • Add the Chocolate Chips and Walnuts: Fold the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
  • Prepare the Baking Tray: Line a baking tray (approximately 23cm x 15cm x 5cm) with baking parchment.
  • Pour and Decorate: Pour the batter into the lined tray. For added decoration, slice a banana lengthwise and place it on top of the batter. Scatter a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  • Bake: Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the tray, then slice and enjoy!
