Paleo Banana & Blueberry Protein Bread

I realise I've be slacking the past 2 days. I've been exhausted beyond words and been looking after my monkey.
She's back to school today, so morning runs are back in full swing!

Anyway, I made a few things yesterday, but the basis for most was this bread. It's far more cake like than bread, but it's yummy regardless.

- 3 banana's mashed
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 scoops hemp protein powder
- 1 heaped tsp macaroot powder (optional)
- 2 cups almond flour (ground almonds)
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cloves
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 heaped Tbsp natural honey
- 1 cup frozen blueberries

* Preheat oven to 175'c.
* Line a large loaf tin.
* Mix together banana, eggs, coconut oil and vanilla.
* Add your hemp, maca, almonds, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger & baking soda and mix well until smooth.
* Add your honey. As strange as it may sound adding it at this point, if you add it earlier it's harder to mix through evenly. Mix well until combined.
* Now stir through your blueberries. I used frozen because they hold up better when stirring in! Plus they're more cost efficient!
* Pour into lined tin, smooth out and bake at 175'c for 40-45mins.
* Leave to cool slightly in tin, then tip out onto a cooling tray.
* Enjoy!

Paleo Blueberry & Coconut Cake

Here's another one I made up as I went along...

- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 banana mashed
- 2 eggs
- 150g almond flour (it was roughly 3 cups)
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp natural honey
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1.5 cups frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 cup desiccated coconut (unsweetened) plus extra for sprinkling on top.
- 1 heaped tbsp ground flaxseed


*Pre heat oven to 175'c.
*Melt coconut oil in a saucepan. Take off the heat and add the banana, vanilla, coconut milk and honey, and stir in the eggs one by one (to make sure they dont cook).
*Add the almonds, spices and baking powder and mix well.
*Add the desiccated coconut and flaxseed and mix well again.
*Add your blueberries and mix well, I'd the mixture seems too runny add more coconut, if it seems too thick add a little more coconut milk. The mixture should resemble a slightly thick sponge mixture.
*Pour into a 23cm, paper lined springform or loose based round cake pan.
*Sprinkle extra desiccated over the top and then bake for 30mins.
*Leave to cool slightly before moving onto a cooling rack.
