Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 bananas (very ripe)(about 2 cups)
  • 200 g almond flour (ground almonds)(2 cups)
  • 3 tbsps maple syrup
  • 120 g walnuts (1 cup)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsps coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

Optional

  • 8 walnut halves (to decorate)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C (350F) and line a loaf tin with baking parchment (greaseproof paper).
  • Crush the walnuts (Optional: keeping back 8 halves to decorate the top) into smaller chunks and toast in a dry frying pan over a low heat until they start to brown (about 5 mins).
  • Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl and add the almond flour (ground almonds), eggs, coconut oil and maple syrup. Mix well.
  • Add the toasted walnuts and bicarbonate of soda and mix well to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Pour the maple walnut banana bread mixture into the loaf tin and top with the walnut halves.
  • Bake in the oven for 40-45 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If the top starts to brown before the cake is ready, cover with a piece of tin-foil to prevent it getting too brown.
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
