This is possibly the tenth banana cake/pudding/bread recipe I’ve come across, but this one is packed with proteins and goodness.

Ingredients

Serving 10

4 Ripe Bananas, mashed
1/2 cup/125ml Coconut Oil, Melted
1/5 cup/125ml Non Dairy Milk
4 tbsp Chia Seeds
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1/3 cup/60g Pumpkin seeds
1 tsp Maca
5 tbsp Goji Berries
2 cups/240g Self Raising Flour
3/4 cup/125g coconut sugar
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 cup/80g Dark choc chips

Topping
1 Banana, sliced length-ways
2 tbsp Maple Syrup

Method

  1. Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees C & line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper.

  2. Mix your mashed banana with the non-dairy milk, goji berries, chia, hemp & pumpkin seeds plus melted coconut oil.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, self raising flour, coconut sugar, spices, chocolate & maca powder.

  4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until well incorporated but try not to over mix.

  5. Transfer the batter to your loaf tin then lay your sliced whole banana on top, drizzle over a little maple then place into your oven for 45 minutes to an 1 hour.

  6. Check it after 35 minutes, if you can see it getting too caramelised on top, cover it over with foil and leave to cook for the remaining time.

  7. Once deliciously golden on top leave your banana cake to cool completely before serving.

Vegan Sticky Toffee Pudding

A British pub classic. This is the best sticky toffee pudding, not because I’ve made it. You can replace the pecan with nuts or not add any. Same for the pear in the sticky sauce.

Plant-based Apple and Chocolate Cake

This apple and chocolate cake took me by surprise as it only contains apples as wet ingredients. It’s perfect with a coffee and post-race treat.

A classic from Britany, Le Far Breton

A plant-based take on this delicious cake from Britany.

Brioche

A plantanisation of the rich buttery French brioche.

Plant-based chocolate brownies

Those brownies are really easy to make, and they are vegan friendly. They are a joy to eat. Great for rest days, I do bake them on regular basis.

Banana split overnight oats

This Banana split overnight oats recipe is a healthy dessert-inspired breakfast that comes together fast and can be prepared the night before. It has the flavour profile of a banana split, creamy vanilla oats, fresh strawberries and bananas, and chocolate chips.

Rhubarb, cardamom and pistachio tart

This plant-based recipe takes away the classic rhubarb/custard combo. It’s all about rhubarb, cardamom and pistachio together in a lovely frangipane tart.
