Fruit & Nut Loaf

Breakfast can be boring sometimes, but this fruit and nut bread is full of nutrients and is grain, sugar, and dairy free! Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup melted unrefined coconut oil

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 2 Tbsp flax or chia seeds (whole)

• 2 cups rough chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and hazelnuts)

• 2 cups rough chopped dried fruits (apricots, figs, cranberries, dates, pineapple, and blueberries)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray a standard loaf pan and/or line with parchment paper.

2. Mash the two bananas (food processor) and put them into a large mixing bowl and whisk in the eggs and coconut oil until smooth.

3. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and blend well.

4. Fold in the fruits, nuts, and seeds and blend until well distributed.

5. Turn into the loaf pan and spread out the dough evenly.

6. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. Since the bread does not rise, cooking times may vary according to the size of your pan as well. 

7. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
