Please remember you can always and easily substitute most ingredients to suit your diet. Milk can be dairy or nut, butter can be replaced with coconut oil, sugar can be replaced with coconut sugar, agave nectar, or honey. If you are using honey only use 1/4 of the recommended amount as it is much sweeter.

 

Ingredients

3/4 cup Natural Evolution Green Banana Flour (Green Banana Resistant Starch)

3/4 cup unsalted shelled pistachios

3/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda

1 teapsoon of cinnamon

125grams butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

3 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 tablespoon of lime rind

 

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160C. Use food processor or TM to finely grind pistachios. Be careful not to over grind them as you do not want a paste. TM users speed 8 for 8 seconds.

2. Add in Green Banana Flour, bicarbonate soda, sugar, milk, vanilla, salt, eggs, cinnamon, butter and lime rind. Mix well until well combined. TM users speed 6 for 30 seconds.

3. Pour into greased and lightly dusted pan.- I used a round 20cm tin which was absolutely perfect giving me 8 good servings.

4. Bake for around 30-40 mins or until skewer inserted into center comes out clean.

5. Serve and Enjoy! Pictured below with ginger and lime ice cream. See below for ice-cream recipe.
