Peanut Butter and Banana Cake

My obsession with peanut butter continues, I still can't seem to go a day without at least a tablespoon full of the stuff, and I've begun to make my own, so, I decided to have a treat and make a peanut butter cake..very exciting!!

I also wanted to make the cake wheat and gluten free too, as my tummy doesn't seem to take wheat very well these days, so I got set to work in the kitchen and began my peanut butter dream..

Ingredients

2 cups gluten free flour..

1 cup oatmeal

3 ripe bananas

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp mixed spice

2 heaped tbsp peanut butter

1 cup soya milk

8 tbsp soya marg

3 tbsp agave syrup

3 tbsp fruit sugar

1 cup sultanas

1 tbsp linseed (or flax seed)

3 tbsp warm water

Method

In a small bowl mix the linseed with the water and set aside for 20-30mins, this becomes egg like in texture and makes a great binding ingredient in replacement of an egg.

In a small pan melt the marg on a low heat together with the fruit sugar and agave syrup, once melted stir in the peanut butter and the bananas until all combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients, add the linseed mix and stir, then add the soya milk and the melted marg mix, stir until all combined.

Transfer to a well greased loaf/cake tin and bake at 180oC for 40-50mins, let cool and enjoy.

I also topped mine with flaked almonds too..

and just had a slice now topped with a little coconut and agave syrup..yum :)
