So, I love to cook, I love to bake and experiment with recipes but I hate to clean up.

I also love banana and banana bread, here’s a banana bread recipe you can make in your blender! No mess, no fuss, so quick and easy, literally takes me less than 10minutes before it’s in the oven. Best of all, it’s dairy and egg free!

The texture is perfect and it’s so divine- so dig in!

Serves: 8 (ish) – 1 small loaf pan (8″ x 4″)*

What you’ll need:

  • Blender
  • Oven

Ingredients:

  • 3 x Large spotty/black bananas (300g)  the riper the better
  • 1/4 cup of coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup of coconut cream
  • 1tsp of vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp of nutmeg
  • 1.5 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 1.5 cups of a plain flour of your choice **
  • 0.5 cup of shredded coconut
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt (optional)
  • Walnuts (optional)

* This loaf as a whole does not raise a huge amount, the loaf will come out to about 2″ (4.5cm) so you can easily double this batch.

**If you choose to make this with coconut flour, note that you will need to add slightly more wet ingredients as the coconut flour is quite absorbent.  I haven’t played with these ratios yet so please let me know if you try this. I typically use whole wheat flour, plain flour or a organic gluten free plain flour mixture of rice, tapioca and quinoa flour.

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius
  2. Blend bananas and coconut sugar together until pureed smooth
  3. Add coconut oil, cream and vanilla and pulse until blended
  4. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and baking soda, pulse until blended.
  5. Sift flour straight into your blender and add the shredded coconut and salt
  6. Fold in flour and coconut using a spatula
  7. Grease or line your loaf pan
  8. Pour mixture into loaf pan
  9. Top with shredded coconut and walnuts
  10. Bake for approximately 40min

P.s also enjoy the “no mess” – blenders practically clean themselves too!
