Method
 

Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. Add ripe bananas, chickpeas (drained), oats (use gluten-free if needed) and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the lined loaf tin, top with sunflower seeds if using, and bake for 25–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  4. Let the bread cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Allow to cool fully before slicing.
Nice cream
  1. Blend frozen bananas and nut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of plant milk if needed to help it blend.
  2. Slice the banana bread and serve with a generous scoop of banana nice cream on top or on the side.
