Banana Bread : one bowl, So Yummy, so easy!
Banana bread that’s mixed in one bowl, so light and fluffy yet made with wholesome wholemeal flour.
If you find yourself with a fruit bowl full of very ripe bananas, and fancy a slice of the most deliciously moist yet fluffy banana bread, without turning the kitchen upside down making messes, then this could well become your new go-to recipe.
Made in just one bowl, it’ll be mixed and in the oven before you can ask “Does anybody feel like banana bread?”
(Which is a rhetorical question really - it’s one of those classic dishes which are much loved for delicious reasons.)
Oh, and it goes without saying,
that this fabulous little treasure is
dairy-free, egg-free, vegan,
and made with simple, whole-food ingredients.
Using wholemeal spelt flour and chia seeds,
it has a very light texture,
so much so that I very much doubt anybody could guess
it’s not made with white flour.
ONE BOWL BANANA BREAD

½ cup maple syrup
½ cup soya milk
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup coconut flakes
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour

METHOD
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C and line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
Mash wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl with a fork.
Place dry ingredients on top in that order and stir through gently with fork.
Pour into lined loaf tin, and press a handful of your favourite nuts onto the top of the batter.
Bake 40 mins at 180 degrees, or until a skewer comes out cleanly.

Delicious while still warm served with a dollop of coconut yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup as a dessert.
Or let it cool to room temperature and serve just as it is.
