Banana coconut bread...Yummmmm!

The weather is slowly improving up here in Central Queensland and so is my mood. It has been confirmed that we are moving into our permanent accommodation on the 13th of Feb now so that means I can cook my husband an amazing Valentines meal. We don't normally celebrate it and I am on the Changing Habits Program so what I can eat is limited but I am still making my husband fabulous meals.

Anyway, my beautiful man loves to have something sweet in the afternoon while at work. We are working together to stop eating lollies and chocolate so I am making him things with glucose powder. It comes out looking the same but you just don't have the sugar taste.

Anyway, this is from Quick Fix in the Thermomix by Alyce Alexandra, I found it on the internet. I have 2 of her cookbooks but they are currently in storage. I get them on the 13th of Feb! Yahooo!!!

Banana and coconut bread
(dairy free and vegetarian)

Ingredients

400g coconut milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract (I used vanilla bean paste)
300g wholemeal spelt flour 
1tbsp baking powder
300g caster sugar (I used 200g glucose powder)
140g shredded coconut
3 very ripe banana's, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 160 degree's (fan forced). Grease and line a 10cm x 30cm bread tin (or a rectangular cake tin) with baking paper

2. Place coconut milk, eggs and vanilla in TM bowl, mix for 10 seconds, speed 3

3. Add spelt flour, baking powder, caster sugar and shredded coconut, mix for 30 seconds, reverse speed 4.

4. Add bananas, mix for 45 seconds, reverse speed 3

5. Pour mixture into bread tin, bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until cooked. Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes. Allow to cook slightly before removing from tin... Serve bread fresh with lots of butter or lightly toasted.

Enjoy with a cup of tea! I froze half of it so he can pull a piece out of the freezer and eat it when he gets to work.

Have a fabulous day!
