1 cup = 240 ml

Ingredients:

• 120 g (1 cup) Saledo Gluten-Free Banana Bread Mix
• 3 medium eggs
• 65 g (3 tablespoons) apple juice concentrate 
• 80 ml (1/3 cup) tahini
• 55 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil or sunflower oil
• 30 ml (2 tablespoons) milk
• 60 g (2/3 cup) almond flour
• 5 g (1 teaspoon) baking powder
• 25 g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
• 200 g (2 large) mashed ripe bananas
• Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Prepare a 25 × 15 cm (10 × 6 inch) loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the apple juice concentrate and beat with a mixer for 3–4 minutes.
3. Add the tahini, olive oil, milk, and well-mashed bananas. Mix until smooth. (For the best color and flavor, mash the bananas just before adding them to the batter.)
4. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, Saledo Gluten-Free Banana Bread Mix, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. For the best texture, allow it to rest for at least 1 hour before slicing.

💡Saledo Gluten-Free Banana Bread Mix is naturally high in fiber, so the cake may appear slightly moist in the center when it first comes out of the oven. As it cools and rests, the crumb will set and develop a perfectly soft, sponge-like texture. For the best results, let it rest for at least 1 hour before slicing. 🍌🍫
