Is there anything better than a freshly baked loaf of banana bread?? Yes! Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread! Topped with Raspberry-Chia Jam and extra Peanut Butter – omg. Kids (and adults!) will absolutely love this. Inspired by my recent trip to America, let’s get baking!
Ingredients
Makes: 1 loaf
Dry:
- 2 cups almond meal
- 1/2 cup LSA mix/ground flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup psyllium husk
- 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Wet:
- 2-3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 organic, free-range eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 2 tsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup/raw honey
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
Raspberry-Chia Jam
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat oven to 160°.
- Place all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Combine wet ingredients, except raspberries, either mixing them by hand or processing in a food processor/blender.
- Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold through the raspberries.
- Lightly oil a loaf tin with some coconut oil, then line with baking paper.
- Spoon batter into the tin and bake for 45-60 minutes until golden and cooked through – insert a skewer to test, it should come out dry.
- Once cooked, remove from oven and allow it to cool in tin.
- When cool, turn tin upside down and remove loaf. Slice loaf into 12 slices.
- Serve with Raspberry Chia Jam (recipe below) and extra peanut butter.
Raspberry Chia Jam:
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor/blender and blend until combined. Add more water if the mixture is too thick.
- Spoon in a sterilized jar and keep in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes:
- If kept covered in the fridge, it will keep up to 1 week. If you are not planning on having it all within 1 week, wrap up individually and put it in the freezer.
