Ingredients
  

  • 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!
