RECIPE | Banana, Date, Walnut, Chia & Spelt Loaf (Dairy & Refined Sugar Free)

I made this recipe with my little boy yesterday. He did most of the work! It is a great recipe to make with kids as there are no fancy mixers needed - just a couple of bowls & a whisk are the only utensils you need!

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup organic spelt flour
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup roasted (or activated) nuts, I used walnuts
1 cup pitted dates
3/4 cup raw organic honey
2 eggs
1 tablespoon chia seeds (mixed with 1 tablespoon water to allow to swell)
1/2 cup coconut or olive oil
3 very ripe bananas (must be ripe or loaf will be dry)
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
Any seeds you have on hand to sprinkle on top (I used pepitas)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 170'c
Grease and flour a loaf tin & set aside
Mix all dry ingredients together with a whisk, then add nuts and dates and whisk to combine
Whisk all wet (honey, eggs, vanilla, chia seeds) ingredients together 
Mix in banana
Once combined add wet ingredients to dry ingredients
Pour mixture into prepared tin and top with seeds
Bake for around 45mins

I often make this and slice in to thick pieces and wrap them individually to freeze. They freeze really well and you can take them out when you need them. It keeps well in the fridge for about a week. I think it tastes better after it has been in the fridge for a day or so.

Enjoy!
