Preheat & Prep

  3. Weigh and prep all ingredients before starting.
Prepare the Dry Mix
  1. In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Blend the flax seeds and walnuts briefly into a coarse meal (breadcrumb texture).
  3. Add the blended mixture and oats to the flour and gently mix.
Prepare the Wet Mix
  1. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or whisk until smooth.
  2. Add almond milk, melted coconut oil and coconut sugar.
  3. Whisk until well combined.
Combine Wet & Dry
  1. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry using a spatula.

Assemble the Loaf

  2. Press the lengthways sliced banana gently into the top of the batter.
  3. Sprinkle with oats, chopped walnuts, and a pinch of cinnamon.
Bake
