I love this Banana Nut Loaf recipe because it’s so quick and easy to make, it has no refined sugar and can be easily made as a gluten-free option.

INGREDIENTS:

• Combine in a large bowl:
• 2 c whole brown rice flour (or wholemeal flour)
• 1/2 c desiccated coconut
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder

Combine separately

• 3 very ripe large bananas (about 1&1/2c) – mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 c of honey (or brown sugar, maple syrup or apple puree)
• 1/2 c rice milk or milk or milk substitute
• 2 tsp vanilla

Add

• 1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1/2 c chopped dates

PROCEDURE:

1. Add wet ingredients to dry, mix until combined and then add nuts and dates.
2. Pour into a greased loaf tin.
3. Bake at 180C for about 50 min – a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
4. Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool.

Enjoy 🙂

PS: notice no butter or oil required 🙂
