Ingredients
Base
100g teff grain (not flour)
120g wholewheat spelt flour
2tsp baking powder
2tsp cinnamon
A pinch of salt
40ml extra virgin olive oil
3 large eggs
2tsp vanilla extract
3 extra-ripe bananas, mashed (300g peeled)
70g dried figs, diced
1/2 small courgette, grated (80g)
1 large carrot, grated (100g)
50g walnuts, roughly chopped
Toppers
1 banana (100g peeled)
10g coconut flakes (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (teff, spelt, baking powder, cinnamon and salt).
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (olive oil, eggs and vanilla extract) with an electric beater. Then add the banana, figs, courgette, carrot and walnuts. Fold in the dry mixture.
Step 4
Line a loaf tin (approx. 23x13cm) with baking paper, then pour in the loaf mixture. Top with banana halves any way you fancy and coconut flakes, if using.
Step 5
Pop in the oven for 70 mins, until cooked through. Cover with foil after 30 mins of cooking to prevent burning the coconut.
Step 6
When cooked, allow to cool for 5 mins in the tin, before lifting out with the baking paper on to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Then slice and enjoy! And remember to share..
