Banana Nut Bread Recipe

This high-protein, grain-free banana pecan bread makes a delicious breakfast option. You’ll need a food processor or blender to grind the pecan nuts to form a flour-like consistency.

I like this nut bread lightly toasted, spread with some soft goats cheese followed by crunchy almond butter ad a few thin slices of banana

Method

300g pecan nuts

½ tsp cream of tartar

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

4 free-range eggs

1 large ripe banana

2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, may be sweet enough)

Method

1. Place the pecan nuts in a grinder or blender and process to form a fine meal

2. Place in a bowl with the other dry ingredients

3. Place the eggs, banana, oil and maple syrup in a blender and process until smooth

4. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly

5. Spoon into a lined loaf

6. Bake at 170°C for 40—45 mins until firm to touch

7. Allow to cool for 5 mins before turning out
