Miguel Maestre's Banana Bread for Diabetes Australia

Ingredients

250 g almond meal
1/4 cup oats
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
125mL olive oil
1 1/2 Tbs maple syrup
2 eggs separated

Method

Preheat oven to 175 C.

Add almond meal, oats, and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the cinnamon, and stir until evenly combined.

In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the olive oil. Add the two egg yolks, vanilla and maple syrup and mix until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Take the two egg whites and beat well to fill with air. Fold gently into the banana batter.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured 11 cm loaf tin.

Top with the sliced banana and drizzle with the additional maple syrup and put it in the oven to bake for 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
