VEGETARIAN | GLUTEN-FREE | DAIRY-FREE | NUT-FREE | JERF
I have posted a couple of variations on this loaf, but here’s another one for Thermomix users. It is a great loaf for school lunchboxes (nut-free), with enough sweetness, but of course no added cane sugar, dates, agave or maple syrup. It also consists of only 7 incgredients, all of which I have at home almost all the time. If you’re not making it for school, you can sub in almond meal.
150g (approx 2 small) carrots, chopped into 4 equal sized pieces
250g (approx 3 small) bananas, cut in thirds
1.5 tspns vanilla powder (I recommend Heilala – no added sugar)
150g (1 cup) buckwheat flour
1 tspn aluminium-free baking powder
150g (approx 3) organic eggs
2 tbspns coconut oil
METHOD
- Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees celsius
- Put carrots, bananas, vanilla & coconut oil in the Thermomix – set to speed 6 for 10 seconds. The mix will be basically a puree [this may or may not be delicious by itself]
- Add the 3 eggs, blend 5 seconds on speed 3
- Add the buckwheat flour & baking powder. Set to reverse, for 7 seconds on speed 4
- Pour whole mixture into a loaf tin
- Put in the oven & set the timer for 40 minutes
Note on oven temperature: as nice as it would be that all ovens are actually the temperature they say they are, there is variation. Set for 35 minutes & check if preferred.
If you’re enjoying a slice yourself, I highly recommend slathering it in almond butter
