Ingredients
1.5 cups almonds
1.5 cups cashews or pecans
¼ cup mixed seeds
½ cup brown rice flour
½ cup honey, agave, maple syrup or maple xylitol syrup
2 Tbs cinnamon
3 Tbs chia seeds
3 over ripe bananas
2 small apples
Optional extra: Add choice of cranberries, goji berries, organic raisins
Directions
Blend the nuts into flour. (I like to keep some of the nuts a little bigger to add texture) In a mixing bowl, mix nut flour, seeds, brown rice, sweetener of choice, cinnamon and chia seeds. Mash up the bananas and add. Grate the apples and add. Use 1 apple if you don’t have small apples otherwise will be too wet.
Mix the mashed fruit and dry mix until sticky and well combined.
Grease a bread loaf tin with coconut oil and spoon the mixture in. Spread evenly. Bake at 150°C for about an hour until you can pull a knife out of the centre clean. Remove from baking tin and allow to cool.
