Chocolate Cherry Banana Bread

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp bicarb
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup Picota Cherries

Frosting

  • 1 tbsp cashew butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Almond milk as needed
  • 1 cup Picota Cherries

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180c and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with the back of a fork, then beat in the coconut
    oil and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Crack in the eggs one at a time whilst mixing so that everything is fully incorporated.
    Next, fold through the dry ingredients so that you’re left with a beautifully smooth and
    chocolatey cake batter!
  • Pour the mixture into your tin and scatter the cherries throughout, pushing some of them
    into the loaf. Bake this for around 45 minutes, until cooked through and a knife comes out
    clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire wrack whilst you whip up the frosting.
    For the decadent chocolate frosting, mix together the cashew butter, cacao powder and
    honey. Then, drizzle in a little almond milk, mix, then repeat this so that you’re left with a
    smooth, spreadable consistency.
  • Lather the icing over your banana bread and garnish with a layer of the Picota cherries to
    finish!
