Graham with Dani from Sugar Free Sweet Pea and her banana and walnut cake!

Prep time: 10 min

Cook time: 30 mins

Total time:40 mins

Ingredients
  • 6oz ground almonds
  • 2 over ripe bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup of chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Method
  • Preheat the oven to 180掳C.
  • In a bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork. Add the rest of the wet ingredients (eggs, oil and vanilla seeds scraped from the vanilla pod) and combine well (for a smoothly textured cake, blend in a food processor.)
  • In a larger bowl, combine the dry ingredients (ground almonds, bicarbonate of soda, chopped walnuts)
  • Combine the wet and the dry evenly with a spoon.
  • Spoon the mixture into a lined loaf tin.
  • Place the loaf into the centre of the oven and bake for 30mins, until golden brown on top or a knife comes out clean.
  • You may need to bake longer depending on the laziness of your oven! Ours is a very angry oven, we often have to keep an eye on things!
  • Remove from oven and cool in the loaf tin for 15mins, then remove to cool on a wire rack.
  • This loaf is lovely sliced and spread with nut butter, or fried in coconut oil for a 'french toast' breakfast.
  • Or who am I kidding? Eaten straight as it is with both hands! *chomp*
  • You can also flavour this however you like! I love vanilla, but cinnamon works well, cacao and orange, whatever you feel like!
