Glimpse into passion pleasers

My mantra for baking is if it is healthy enough to eat for breakfast yet tastes deliciously naughty, you are on a winner! These cake squares fit this motto, and are super easy and quick to make! 

 All you need is:

1/4 cup nut butter (I used almond, brazil and cashew butter)
1/4 cup tahini
1/3 cup rice syrup
2 large bananas
1/3 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
*170 g passionfruit pulp
All you  need to do is:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Line a baking pan with baking paper. Any size you have will do, but one about 20cm x 20cm will make a good thickness.
  3. Pour the mixture into the pan evenly.
  4. Top with the leftover passionfruit pulp.
  5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until firm and golden. Keep an eye on the topping, as it will burn. If it starts to catch, cover the pan with a piece of foil.
  6. Let it cool and slice into squares.

************************************************************************************
 
*Instead of passionfruit pulp, use about 100g of one or two of the following:

  • chopped dark chocolate or choc chips
  • berries (frozen or fresh)
  • drained, crushed pineapple
  • dried blueberries, cranberries or pineapple
  • crushed nuts
  • quinoa flakes or gluten free oats (you may need to add a little water if your mixture becomes dry when blended)
  • chopped pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds or toasted sesame seeds

*You could also try:

  • 1 tablespoon of raw cacao
  • 1 teaspoon of ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger
  • 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons of LSA -linseed, sunflower seed and almond meal (you may need to add a little water if your mixture becomes dry when blended)
  • Whole round slices of pineapple at the bottom of the tray, and then pour mixture over the top for a pretty and fruity pattern.

I hope you enjoy these nutritious treats, any time of the day! And they keep getting better…only the blender and pan to clean!! Winner!!
