Dessert

RECIPE BY COYO
MAKES ONE LOAF . 10 SERVES

This healthy Banana Loaf topped with Caramelised Figs is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. It makes the perfect guilt-free, yet seriously delicious, breakfast, snack or dessert.

DIRECTIONS

Banana Loaf

1 Pre-heat oven to 175º C (not fan forced).

2 Combine the wet ingredients together in one bowl. In another, combine the dry ingredients.
Then mix the two together into a batter. Slowly fold the walnuts through.

3 Line a 22 x 12 cm rectangular loaf tin with baking paper, lightly oil the base and sides (with coconut oil)
and pour the mixture in. Slice the remaining banana down the middle and
place on top of the mixture.

4 Bake for 45 mins at 175º C. It’s ready when it feels bouncy to touch.
Let it cool once you’ve taken it out of the oven as it will continue to cook.

Note: Best kept in the fridge for up to 1 week, or you can freeze it and
heat it up as you go.

Caramelised Figs Directions

1 Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.

2 Toss the figs in the coconut oil and sprinkle with coconut sugar.

3 Place the figs in the pan, cut side down. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. 
Remove the pan from the heat and let it stand for 2 minutes.

4 To serve, slice the Banana Loaf as desired and generously 
spread with CO YO; then top with the figs, a drizzle of honey and a 
sprinkle of Cinnamon.
