Ingredients (serves 6 | makes 6 6 mini loaves)
- 4-5 medium sized very ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup rice bran syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 2 cups plain white flour
- 3 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2-3 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 90g of 70% dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- 1/4 cup macadamias chopped
Method
- Preheat your oven to 170°C.
- Peel the bananas and mash together with a fork in a large bowl. Add the rice bran syrup and coconut oil and mix together well. Sift the flour, cinnamon powder and baking soda over the top and beat well with a wooden spoon.
- Decide which filling you’d like to add to your banana breads - blueberries, dark chocolate or nuts and add these to the mix. Leave a few filling ingredients to one side to decorate your mini banana breads before you bake these in the oven.
- Divide the mixture evenly into a 6 space mini loaf tray – silicone (10cm x 5cm), ensuring you wipe any excess mixture from around the edge. Depending on which filling ingredient you decided upon add a few extras of these to the top of the breads for decoration.
- Place the silicon mould onto an oven tray and bake in the oven on the middle shelf for 55-60 minutes. Before removing, stick a metal skewer into the middle of the banana bread ensuring it comes out clean. Then leave to cool down on a cooling rack for 20 minutes and slice.
