Gluten-free And Vegan Banana Cocoa Breakfast Loaf

Here is my Cocoa Banana Breakfast Loaf! Perfect on its own, outrageously good adorned with toppings, anytime of day! This is the kind of baking that you can eat at breakfast and genuinely feel good about it. It’s also super adaptable, so if you don’t need it to be gluten free or vegan, use regular flour and regular dairy - it will be just as delicious. Cut the loaf into thick slices and serve warm with coconut yoghurt and jam, fresh banana and nut butter, or simply by itself.

2 tbsp light olive oil

1 tsp of salt1

00g ground almonds  

60g cocoa powder

  2. Blend together the bananas, maple, almond milk, vanilla and olive oil in a food processor until smooth.
  3. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl of an electric stand mixer and gradually add in the salt, ground almonds, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and soda. Mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin.
