April 2025 Dish of the Month Recipe

Spinach and Banana Loaf (Dairy Free)

Ingredients: • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed • 5 large free range eggs • 225g soft vegan butter • 225g golden caster sugar • 225g self raising flour, sieved • 180-300g bag of washed spinach • 5ml of vanilla extract • 5g of nutmeg

Method: 1. In a food processor or blender, blend the eggs and spinach to a paste and set aside. 2. Using a mixer or hand whisk, lightly whip the butter and sugar together until they form a fluffy texture. Add the pre-mashed bananas, then slowly add the spinach and egg mixture, a little at a time. 3. Add the nutmeg and vanilla essence then slowly add the flour until the mixture comes together. 4. Line a loaf tray with parchment paper and bake it in a pre-heated oven for 30-45 minutes until it is fully cooked through (use a wooden skewer to check the bake).

Let it cool and then slice it up. Best served with a cuppa!
