Fluffy banana hidden veggie bread
This one is so easy and quick to make. Plus it hides some veggies perfectly making it a guilt free afternoon treat.
Deeply moist and fluffy, with some Christmas like spices and has a tiny twinkle of salt which I love. You can replace the pear or an apple, or another banana. I added a tiny bit of coconut sugar to bring out the flavours but you could replace this with 3-6 dates or 2 tbsp date syrup or maple syrup. I don’t recommend omitting the sweetener entirely as this is already a very unsweet cake.
You will need a high speed blender to make.
Ingredients
1 brown banana
1 ripe pear
3 tbsp apple sauce / 1 banana
2 medium carrots / 1/2 courgette / 1 beet root - peeled & cut into chunks
2-3 tbsp yoghurt (I used coconut kefir)
2 tbsp coconut sugar / maple syrup / date syrup
3 tbsp melted coconut oil
3 eggs
2 tbsp chia seeds
200g gf oats (oat flour)
80g almond flour
200g spelt/ unbleached white flour - for a gf version use buckwheat flour or rice or a gf cake mix flour
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp cardamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend till you have a smooth batter
Pour the batter into a greased (or line with baking paper) bake form
Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 45min. Then poke the cake with a fork and check the consistency, if it comes out clean then it’s ready if batter clings to the form leave in a further 10-15min.
