Ingredients

5 ripe bananas

2 linseed eggs (mix 2 tablespoons ground linseed + 6 tablespoons water and leave to stand and become gel like) or chia seeds

120mililitres melted coconut oil

100g coconut sugar

225g wholewheat spelt flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

A pinch of salt

50g chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Dessicated coconut (optional)

Method

1: Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/180c.

2: Line a loaf tin with baking parchment.

3: Peel and mash 4 of the bananas and set to one side.

4: In another bowl mix together the melted coconut oil and sugar until the sugar starts to dissolve. It can be good to use a hand-held mixer for this.

5: Mix the bananas and the linseed eggs into the mixture.

6: In another bowl mix together the spelt flour, baking powder and salt.

7: Bring the dry flour mix together with the wet banana mixture and beat well to combine until you have a soft batter.

7: Add the chopped walnuts or pecans or desiccated coconut (optional). 

8: Pour the batter into a lined loaf tin and top with the remaining banana cut into circular slices or a whole banana cut in half like in this image.

9: Bake for 50-55 minutes. Once cooked, the banana bread should be springy to the touch. Insert a knife into the middle of the loaf to check the cake is cooked all the way through, the knife should come out clean.

9: Remove from the tin and leave to cool before slicing and serving.
