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.

Plant-based Chocolate Ice Cream

It’s hot. Very hot. Very very hot. So no surprise I’ve got more trips to the freezer than my local swimming pool. We have a wide range of choices when it comes to plant-based ice cream. But like many ready-made products, you don’t really know what’s gone in. Below is a simple plant-based chocolate ice cream recipe I’ve tried. And love!

Microwave chocolate, miso and banana mug cakes

Salted Caramel Apple Crumble

A friend gave me the best crumble recipe you can get. It’s very French, it has lots of butter in it. And it’s versatile too: apple, apple and pear, apple and blackcurrant, apple and rhubarb, rhubarb, pear, etc. But, moving to a plant-based diet, I had to burry the recipe and start looking for a new one.

Make your plant-based raspberry sorbet with just three ingredients. Perfect for hot summer days or pairing with chocolate puddings.

I’ve tried many chocolate mousse recipes with red beans, sweet potatoes, and aquafaba. This is the closest you will get from a ‘real’ chocolate mousse.
