Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 3 tbsp warm water
  • 3 large ripe bananas around 400g
  • 65g coconut oil melted
  • 100ml Califia Farms Oat Barista
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g wholemeal spelt flour*
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 100g brown or coconut sugar you can also use caster sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Spirulina Whipped Coconut Cream

  • 1x 400g can full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp spirulina powder
  • A handful toasted coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/350F.
  • Mix the milled flaxseed and 3 tbsp of warm water in a small bowl. Leave for 10 minutes to set.
  • Mash the bananas in a large bowl, then add in the coconut oil, flaxseed mixture, Califia Farms Oat Barista and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
  • Add in the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder andsalt. Mix again until you have an even batter.
  • Transfer into a loaf tin lined with baking paper (we used a 21x11cm loaf tin). Bake for 60-65 minutes. Leave to cool completely before piping the cream on top.
  • To make the whipped cream – refrigerate the can of full fat coconut milk overnight (at least 8 hours), then open the can and remove the top thick part only (be careful not to add any of the liquid part).
  • Add the solidified coconut cream into a large bowl, then whip using a hand mixer at high speed until it becomes light and fluffy - like whipped cream.
  • Add the icing sugar and spirulina and whip again to mix.Transfer into a piping bag and pipe over the cooled loaf.

Notes

* Plain flour instead of spelt will also work
** Place the tools you’ll use to make the whipped cream (bowl, mixer attachments, piping bag, piping nozzle) in the fridge overnight too for a thicker whipped cream.
