Blueberry Banana Bread

VEGAN – DAIRY-FREE – GLUTEN-FREE

Serves 10

Ingredients

120ml (1/2 cup) plant-based m.lk

120g (1 cup) fresh blueberries

3 ripe medium bananas

60g (1/4 cup) melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

150g (1 + 1/4 cup) gluten-free flour

150g (1 + 1/4 cup) ground almonds/almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

pinch of salt

FOR THE FROSTING

150g Nush Natural Almond M.lk Spread

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 lemon

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.

In a large separate bowl add the melted coconut oil with the apple cider vinegar followed by the sift in flour, almond flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda & salt.

Add in the mashed bananas & combine well.  Slowly add in the m.lk until it forms a smooth, pourable batter then add the blueberries, try not to crush them when you stir them in. Carefully pour into a loaf tin that is lined with greaseproof paper.

Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 45 minutes/until golden brown.  Insert a skewer to see if it comes out clean (if so, it’s cooked).  Let it cool then it is ready to slice!

Whilst this is cooking you can make the lemon maple frosting by simply adding a tub of Nush Natural Almond M.lk Spread to a bowl, followed by 1/2 a squeezed lemon then grate the zest if unwaxed. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, fully combine then when the banana bread is cooled you can add the frosting & an extra grate of the lemon zest on top.
