Gluten Free Banana & Walnut Bread

Method:

1. Pre-heat fan-forced oven to 180°C.
2. In a medium mixing bowl whisk eggs. Add mashed banana and whisk to combine. Add in almond meal, maca powder, baking powder and cinnamon and combine well.
3. Pour batter into a lined loaf tin.
4. Bake in oven for 40- 45 minutes or until cooked through. Test with a skewer; the skewer will come out clean when cooked through.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve warm, toasted or chilled.

Inspirations:

• Sprinkle almond flakes or crushed walnuts on surface prior to baking and place baking paper on top (to stop nuts from burning).
• Instead of walnuts you can also use chopped macadamia nuts.
• Add 1 tsp organic vanilla powder to batter.
• To give your banana bread a boost of extra banana flavour add an additional ¼ cup of mashed banana to mixture, totalling 1 ½ cups.
• Instead of cooking as a loaf of banana bread you can spoon batter into muffin trays and cook for half the time.
• For a fun decoration layer the top of you uncooked banana bread with thin slices of banana before baking.

Recipe Tips:

• Maca is a root plant native to the Andes of Peru. It is made into a superfood powder that can be added to baking, smoothies and raw treats with benefits such as boosting energy and improving hormonal balance. You can purchase from health food stores.
• This recipe is suitable to freeze.
