Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• Wet Ingredients:
• 2 large Bananas you want them SUPER SUPER ripe, almost black!
• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Maple Sugar You can find this online or at a good supermarket/health store
• 1/4 tsp fine Salt
• 1 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed
• 3 TBSP warm Water
• 50 grams Oil
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 tsp Maple Extract
• Dry Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Almond Meal
• 1/4 cup Oat Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking soda
• 1/2 cup chopped Pecans
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup for after cake has cooked
• Vegan 'Cream Cheese' Frosting:
• 50 grams Nutellex Vegan spread a lot of margarine still has milk solids in it, so look for a DAIRY free variety
• 150 grams Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese
• 50 grams Icing Sugar
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup

Instructions

 

• Wet Ingredients Instructions: Combine Flax meal with warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• After it has thickened, add it to the remaining wet ingredients and blend with a hand held immersion blender till smooth.
• Alternatively, you can mash everything by hand but I personally do not like chunks of mushy banana in the bread!
• Set aside whilst preparing dry ingredients.
• Wet Ingredient Instructions: Combine dry ingredients and sieve into a big bowl.
• Make a well in dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into it.
• Combine well with a whisk and then pour into a greased and lined 7x4 inch loaf tin.
• Bake at 175 degrees celsius for 45 minutes or till a skewer comes out clean.
• Once it is taken out of the oven, immediately poke holes in the cake and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
• Leave cake to cool.
• Vegan 'Cream Cheese' Frosting Instructions: Cream Tofutti and Nutellex together till smooth with an electric mixer.
• Add icing sugar and maple syrup to the mixture and mix to combine.
• At this point, the mixture will be a little sloppy, so leave it in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up a little.
• Finishing Touches: Once your bread has cooled, top with icing and sprinkle with chopped pecan nuts. Keep in the fridge, and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying a slice!
