    There was a healthy recipe for banana and walnut bread in the independent weekend supplement on Sat the 11th.

    It had simple enough ingredients, such as almond flour, etc.

    I was intending to make a few batches and freeze them, but my wife has since lit the stove with the supplement, and I can't seem to find any recipe that resembles it online.

    Anyone got that issue that wouldn't mind sharing the recipe?

    Cheers

    This one maybe?

    WALNUT AND BANANA BREAD
    I first tried this banana bread when filming a show with the American cooking icon Paula Deen. I have tried many versions to reduce the fat, and think this one is the winner. Serves eight.
    Contains 220 calories, 15.8g fat, 1.9g saturates, 11.3g sugar, 0.1g salt, 7.5g protein and 2.3g fibre.
    YOU WILL NEED
    • Oil, for greasing
    • 2 ripe bananas
    • 3 eggs
    • 110g almond flour
    • 1½ tbsps raw honey
    • 70g walnuts, roughly chopped
    METHOD
    Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6 and lightly oil a 20 x 12.5cm non-stick loaf tin.
    In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add the almond flour and honey. Now stir in the walnuts and your mashed banana.
    Pour the cake mixture into the tin and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
    TIP
    Walnuts are high in calories and fat but, much like the case with avocados, it is the healthy kind of fat that keeps you feeling full. Walnuts are also a great source of fibre and protein.

    Hi,

    I saw this recipe in the paper and i made it during the week! :D

    It turned out really well, and instead of using Almond Flour (which i couldn't source) i used ground almonds.

    It was delish! Very moist and moreish! :pac: ...you don't feel so guilty about having a thicker slice either because there is no sugar or butter used in the process.

    However, i would add some spice next time...like a pinch of cinnamon..just for some extra flavour! ;)
