INGREDIENTS:
- 1 flax “egg” (1 tbsp milled flax seeds + 2 ½ tbsp water)
- 1 large overripe banana
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 cup organic green banana powder
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup organic dried apricots, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Prepare a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Make the flax egg: combine the milled flax seeds with the water in a small bowl and mix with a fork. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to gel.
- Mash the banana in a large bowl until completely smooth.
- Add in the melted coconut oil and flax “egg”. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Mix in the banana powder, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. The batter will be extremely thick at this stage.
- Slowly mix in the milk until the batter is smooth and velvety.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of dried apricots.
- Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake for 20 min.
- Cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy!
