Banana Bread Recipe:
4 very ripe bananas, mashed
15 g ground flaxseed
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
80 mL coconut oil, melted
30 mL pure maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
60 g coconut sugar
50 g gluten free oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
210 g self raising gluten free flour
Candied pecans for topping – the recipe for my candied pecans can be found here
Vanilla Frosting Recipe:
450g powdered sugar
45g vegan butter
60ml almond milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line and grease a loaf pan and set aside.
Stir the wet ingredients (ground flax, milk, melted oil, maple syrup, vanilla and banana) until combined.
Stir the dry ingredients (sugar, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour) into the wet mixture, one by one, in the order listed.
Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan and spread out evenly.
Bake the loaf, until lightly golden and firm on top. The top of the loaf should slowly bounce back when touched.
Whilst the banana bread is cooling, we can make our frosting.
Combine all the ingredients for the frosting in a bowl. Using an electric whisk slowing combine the ingredients until you have a thick frosting.
Once the bread has cooled top with the frosting and the candied pecans.
