INGREDIENTS

• 3 ripe bananas
• 120 grs polenta
• 100 grs almond meal
• 2 flaxseed eggs (2 tbsp flaxseed meal +6 tbsp water)
• 100 grs walnuts
• 160 grs dates
• 1 to 1,5 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch of sea salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Soften the dates in warm water for 20 min
2. Preheat the oven at 160° C
3. Once the dates have softened, put all the ingredients in your thermomix or mixer, except vegan eggs and walnuts. Blend until everything is properly combined and add a little of the dates soaking liquid (1/5 to 1/4 cup) to get a thick batter (similar consistency of apple sauce)
4. Add the flaxseed eggs and 3/4 of the roughy chopped walnuts

Blend everything, and put in your baking tin lined with parchment paper. Top with the remaining nuts.

Put in the oven for 1 hour.

Wait until it has totally cooled to slice it and savor it !

NOTE

You can keep it in the fridge for a few days, but you can also slice it and freeze the slices you will heat up for breakfast on demand.

You can replace walnuts by pecans or hazelnuts. Also, if you don’t like cinnamon flavor it with vanilla.
