Ahead of giving birth to her second child, Lara Worthington has been busy baking. And she’s been kind enough to share her banana bread recipe with her followers on Instagram via an Instagram Story.
Ingredients,
– 2 cups of oats
– 1 tsp nutmeg
– 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
– 1 tsp salt
– 4 or 5 bananas
– ¼ cup coconut oil
– 7 dates
– ½ cup water
– 3 tbsp chia seeds
– ½ cup shredded coconut
– ½ cup walnuts
– 3 tsp baking soda
– 2 eggs
– 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Method,
1. Set oven to 180°C.
2. Mix the oats, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt in a blender. Blend until the oats become like a flour-like consistency.
3. Mix three or four bananas, coconut oil and four dates in blender, and blend until it’s like a thick creamy paste. Leave the mix to the side.
4. Add ½ cup water to the chia seeds. Stir with fork until gel-like. Let the seeds sit and absorb the liquid.
5. Chop one banana and three dates. Add to the dry mix with shredded coconut, walnuts and baking soda.
6. Break two eggs into the wet mix, and add the vanilla extract and chia seeds.
7. Mix all ingredients together. If it’s too dry, add a little water.
8. Pour batter into a greased or lined loaf tin. Lara likes to decorate the top with leftover banana.
9. Place in the oven for 60-90 minutes, but the time varies depending on your oven.
