Easy banana bake recipe

The easiest healthy baking recipe, great for using up overripe bananas, low FODMAP.

Banana bake is the best. It's among those dishes that I just keep making over and over again and it has so many use cases if you ask me! 

It's 1) a breakfast dish, which can later in the day turn into 2) a healthy dessert for tea or coffee and it can be 3) an amazing filling travel snack (I love it when my mum packs some for the family when we go out for walks or take a trip somewhere!). It is also the easiest to make. Throw the ingredients together in a bowl, mix them and bake, that's all! Just bare in mind that you need some overripe bananas, so if you love to eat those fresh slightly underripe bananas like I do, but then beat yourself up for buying too many and not knowing what to do with those overripe bananas left in the fruit bowl, then you are in luck, this is how you can use them!

I have baked this particular banana bake in a multicooker with a dessert function, but it can of course just as easily be baked in the oven.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 ripe or even better overripe bananas

• 2 mugs oats

• 1/4 cup ground almonds

• 2 tbsp creamed coconut (not coconut cream, these are two different things!) or coconut butter, melted in a microwave or using hot water bath

• 2 beaten eggs

• 2 tbsp almond milk (or any other plant based milk)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp soda

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• dash of salt

METHOD

Mash the bananas, add the eggs, milk, creamed coconut and vanilla extract. Add all the other ingredients, mix well together, pour the mixture into your baking dish or your multicooker (lightly greased with olive oil to prevent sticking) and bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
