Took banana bread, made it vegan, kept it gluten free, studded it with chocolate and did a happy dance!

Getting the balance of lift, flavour, fibre, protein & innate sweetness in gluten free, egg free baked goods is a challenge sometimes but I've been around the block with adapting recipes at this stage & this recipe is a marvel!

Very much a cake rather than a breakfast however, it's made in a way that won't perturb blood sugar or energy whilst satisfying a sweet urge.

You can also make this with sweet potato purée if you prefer.
