Banana & Cacao Bread Submitted by Laura
Whisk together:
3 x large ripe mashed bananas - 1/2 cup natural liquid sweetener (I use a combo of rice malt syrup and maple syrup) - 2 x large eggs - 1/3 cup melted coconut oil - 1 tsp vanilla - 1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
Once combined, add:
1& 3/4 cup plain flour (I use GF flour, but use slightly less plain and make it up with SR flour). You could use spelt, wholemeal, etc. Just check that it's the right consistency). - 1 tsp bicarb soda - 1/2 tsp baking powder - spices of your choice (I use mixed spice, cinnamon and ginger) - as much as you want - pinch of salt
Mix all together.
Stir in about 1/2 cup of raw cacao nibs (or anything you want really)
Pour into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle slivered almonds on top and bake for about an hour at 160C (fan forced) or until done.
Nutella Protein Balls Submitted by Sparkle
Wing the recipe- touch 'n' go!
I use hazelnut meal for the nutty taste that Nutella has
Then I make my own vegan chocolate With cacao butter, cacao powder, coconut oil
Then add oats, some boiling water (which has soaked about a cup of dates, so the water is sweetened)
Or you can buy vegan chocolate
Add that to a basic nut meal, protein powder, oats and soaked date mix. Mix all ingredients together and place in fridge to set! No measurements just taste and adjust to your preference as you go!

Vegan Choc-Chip Banana Bread
Submitted by Bethany
Wet ingredients: 1 and 1/3 cups mashed banana (3-4 bananas, you can also use frozen but make sure you get rid of the excess liquid) 2 tsp vegan egg replacer (makes it fluffier, you could sub 2 tbsp flaxseed or chia, or as long as you’re using gluten flour could omit) 1/3 cup coconut milk (sub any plant-based milk, coconut is the creamiest!) 1/3 cup melted coconut oil 2 tbsp rice malt syrup (or maple syrup, add same amount of extra sugar if you don’t have this!) 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry ingredients: 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp coconut sugar (could sub if need be) 1/2 cup MIX IN OF CHOICE – I used ‘Sweet William’ brand chocolate chips as I was making this as a treat, for a healthier option you could use rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruit…. 1 tsp bi carb soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 and 1/2 cups wholemeal plain flour (you can sub this with nearly any flour, this recipe is really adaptable to gluten free too! I’ve also tried spelt which is delicious!) Extra mix-in/other toppings for top of loaf
Preheat oven to 180C, line the bottom of a loaf tin with paper and lightly grease the rest (coconut oil or I use melted coconut oil nuttlex). Mash the bananas until smooth and add all of the ‘wet’ ingredients and mix. Stir through the dry ingredients adding the flour last, depending on what ‘mix-in’ you use you may need a little more flour, the mix should be wet but not runny. Spoon into the loaf pan, spread out, add any extras to the top if you like (make sure to press them in a little), then bake uncovered for between 45min and an hour (mine took about 55 min). Make sure you let it cool in the tin a little before sliding a knife around the edges to loosen it and transfer it to a cooling rack.
