Mini Banana Loaves

Mini Banana Loaves

These delicious banana loaves are nutritious and filling.  They are great for breakfast and children's lunch boxes. Instead of using glutenous flour I have used ground almonds and flaxseeds.  You can make this as a whole loaf using a 1llb loaf tin and baking for 1 hour. 

Lucuma is a South American fruit high in beta-carotene and B Vitamins and makes a great natural sweetener.

  • 50g butter, melted and cooled

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
