Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 ⅓ cup cup oats (more if needed)
  • 1 tsp gingerbread spice mix (see notes)
  • 1 tbsp carob syrup (see notes)
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds (optional)
  • sea salt
Topping
  • 2 tbsp cocoa hazelnut butter (see notes)
  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut (optional)

Method
 

  1. Mash bananas.
  2. Add gingerbread spices, sunflower seeds, carob syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Add oats and mix. Add more oats if the dough seems too wet. (The wetter the longer it bakes)
  4. Pour into a loaf pan and bake at 356°F (180°C) for about 20-30min.
  5. Top with hazelnut butter and shredded coconut.
  6. Let it cool down at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Gingerbread spice mix: If you don't have a mix, make it yourself. 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground cardamom, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp allspice, ½ tsp ground clove. Use 1 tsp of the mix.
Carob syrup: Can be left out but makes it moister and more Christmassy. Or use blackstrap or dark molasses instead.
Cocoa hazelnut butter: If it's too thick, mix it with 1-2 tbsp plant milk. Can substitute for any other nut butter or melted chocolate.
