This is one of my go-to cakes, it’s really easy to make and the whole family love it. I love it because I can make it a little healthier than normal cakes and it works allergen free!
If anyone has tried baking without dairy, gluten and eggs then you will know that it doesn’t always weald great results! But this cake still tastes great!
After having a gluten, dairy and egg free house for a while I understand first hand how important it is to have recipes that all the family enjoy and that let the kids feel like they can eat the kind of foods they enjoy, thats why I like this recipe so much!
It does take a little longer to cook, so make sure you have some baking time available!
Ingredients:
75g Coconut oil melted
4 tbsp honey
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp flax seed/5 water)
60ml plant based milk
225g banana mashed (2 large/3 small bananas)
220g buckwheat flour (or other gluten free flour)
1 tsp gluten free baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla essence
Dash salt
30g chopped walnuts
30g dairy free choc chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 165°c
Make the flax eggs by mixing 2 tbsp of ground flax seed with 5 tbsp of water in a small bowl and put to the side for 5 minutes to thicken.
Add the coconut oil and honey to a large mixing bowl and mix together (a hand whisk is best for this). Then add the mashed banana, milk, vanilla, and egg and mix until combined.
Then add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and gently mix with a wooden spoon.
Lastly add in the walnuts and chocolate, and gently mix in.
Grease a loaf tin with coconut oil and pour in the cake mix.
Add a few walnuts to decorate the top and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 50-55 minutes.
Check the cake is baked through by poking a knife in, if it comes out clean then it is ready, if not leave it in for a few more minutes. You can cover the top in some foil or baking parchment if it is looking a bit brown and the cake is not cooked through yet.
The cake should keep for 3 days in an airtight container.
This recipe contains nuts, if you are nut free leave out the walnuts.
You can also swap the nuts and chocolate chips for other ingredients such as cranberries, raisins, pumpkin seeds or leave out
