This high-protein, grain-free bread makes a delicious breakfast option. You’ll need a food processor or blender to grind the pecan nuts to form a flour-like consistency. The bread is best served warm or toasted, spread with a little coconut oil or nut butter.

300g pecan nuts + 50g roughly chopped
½ tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 free-range eggs
1 large ripe banana
2 tbsp light olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180C

Place the pecan nuts in a grinder or blender and process to form a fine meal. Place in a bowl with the other dry ingredients and remaining roughly chopped nuts.

Put the eggs, banana, oil and maple syrup in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spoon into a lined loaf tin.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until firm to touch. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning out.
