Why Bake with Coconut flour?
Coconut flour is extremely high in fiber; about 5-6 grams per 2 tablespoons. It also contains healthy fats and is considerably lower in digestible carbs than most other flours and can be bought now in Sainsburys, Tescos and most health shops. Delicious!
Ingredients:
- 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups mashed banana)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips OR cocoa nibs
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a bread tin with baking paper. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine bananas, vanilla and almond butter; mix until well combined, smooth and creamy.
Then slowly mix in the 2 eggs, one at a time until fully combined.
Slowly then add in coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; mix again until just combined
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs and pour into baking tin.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool before serving toasted with some butter or nut butter!
Heaven!
