December means CHRISTMAS is just around the corner, and I absolutely cannot wait! Christmas season is my favorite, minus the cold weather. I personally around having chrissy in summer like we do in Australia.
I had two large and perfectly ripe nanas sitting on my counter so naturally I gravitated towards making a banana bread for the week hehe. This loaf is inspired by the beloved gingerbread house. The loaf is perfectly soothing and has all the warm flavors for the chilly month ahead.
Ingredients:
2 large bananas
2 eggs
splash of vanilla
1/4 cup of almond milk
1/4 cup of yogurt
1/4 cup of date paste, or maple syrup
Spices: 2 tsp of ginger, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 cup of almond flour
1/2 cup of oat flour
1/2 cup of all purpose flour
2 tsp of baking powder
Icing:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 tbsp of almond butter
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
dash of water
Method:
Preheat your oven to 350F
In a blender combine the banana, eggs, vanilla, almond milk, yogurt and date paste
In a medium bowl combine the remainder of the ingredients and mix
Add the blended ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly
Pour the batter into a lined load tray and bake for 45ish minutes.
Once the loaf has cooled you can add your icing by mixing the 'icing' ingredients until you reach your desired consistency. The 'runny-ness' of the icing will depend on the amount of water you add
Drizzle the icing over the loaf and dig in
