[Recipe] Flourless Chocolate & Banana Loaf, Vegan Friendly & Gluten Free

Flourless Banana Chocolate Loaf, Vegan Friendly & Gluten Free | www.fussfreecooking.com

In my last 5 Ingredients Spelt and Chia Seeds Banana Bread post, Felicia from Dish by Dish asked:-

“Hey Emily! this looks beautiful! I’m just wondering if I can use almond meal to replace spelt flour?”

I thought what a brilliant idea to give a flourless banana bread a go!  So here it is, Felicia, my take on flourless banana bread – with almond meal with raw cacao powder. I did not add any sugar to the loaf except for a light sprinkling of coconut sugar on top of the banana toppings to help with the caramelisation. Ooooo, caramelised bananas, can’t say no to that hey?

Let me tell you the textural difference of this flourless banana bread as compared to the spelt version. It is definitely denser and more crumbly. Plus the flourless version takes 20 minutes longer to bake, thus making the total baking time of about an hour.

So my dear friends, this may be the baking recipe for you this weekend. Let me know how did the loaf turn out for you.

Hope you all have a productive & joyful weekend! Emily xx
