Healthy Banana and Walnut Loaf
Ingredients:
300g bananas (peeled weight)
100g walnut halves
4 tbsp almond milk
6 tbsp olive oil
2 eggs
225g whole meal SR flour
pinch salt
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp cinnamon
175g coconut sugar
Method:
1
Lightly grease a 2lb loaf tin. Place a piece of non- stick baking paper lengthways into the bottom of the tin so that
it is slightly longer than the tin at each end. This will make it easier to remove the cake after baking.
2
Preheat the oven to fan 170°C, Gas Mark 4.
3
Cut the bananas into roughly 40mm lengths and place in the bowl with the chopping blade fitted.
4
Process using pulse for 10 – 15 seconds, then add the walnuts and pulse again until chopped.
5
Put the milk, oil and eggs into the bowl, then add the dry ingredients.
6
Pulse for a few seconds then scrape the bowl sides down and pulse again until combined. Scrape the bowl again
and pulse for a few more seconds. The intention is not to further chop up the nuts.
7
Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake in the centre of the oven for about 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in
the middle comes out clean.
8
Leave to cool completely in the tin and then serve with or without butter.

1 cauliflower

1
Remove the outer leaves and core and discard.
2

3
Fit the chopping blade and then place 400g florets in the bowl.
4
Pulse in batches until broken down into small granules (about 30 seconds), give the bowl a shake or use a
spatula as necessary to reposition any larger pieces.
