Ingredients
-
1 cup of leached acorn flour
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 cups sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking soda
-
2 teaspoons ground allspice
-
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
3 large eggs
-
1 cup coconut oil
-
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
Method
Making the acorn flour:
Peel the outer shell from the acorns and blitz and finely as possible.
Pop in a pan with enough water to cover, and bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 mins until the water becomes a thick paste.
Add a little cold water to help wash off the liquid and strain through a sieve until all of the liquid has gone. Discard the liquid and if you feel the acorn flour is a little bitter still repeat the process.
Making The Banana Bread
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth!
Put the mix in an oven proof container and cook at 180 degrees for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean.
