Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut butter
3 Tbsp coconut oil ((melted))
4 Tbsp toasted carob powder
1 1/2 Tbsp maca powder
1-2 Tbsp coconut flour ((for thickening // or sub almond flour))
1 healthy pinch sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Stevia* ((optional // to taste // I didn't find it necessary))

Steps:

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend to combine until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more carob powder for "chocolate" flavor or sweetness, maca powder for caramel flavor, salt for saltiness, vanilla for vanilla flavor, or coconut butter for creaminess. If it appears too liquidy, add an additional 1 Tbsp (9 g // as recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) coconut flour. You're looking for a pourable liquid, but not too watery.
Pour into cupcake liner molds, a lined loaf pan, or silicone chocolate molds like these or these, and let cool until firm. Depending on the temperature of your home, they may solidify at room temperature. If not, carefully transfer to the refrigerator until firm. Then remove from molds and enjoy. Because coconut butter chilled has some texture, don't be worried if the tops of your bars have a bit of ridging to them - that's totally normal!
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 1 month or longer. Let thaw slightly before enjoying for best texture.

Time 40m

Yield Cuts into 6 - 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

125g self-raising wholemeal flour
½ tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
75g sultana
50g butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
3 ripe bananas, mashed
drizzle agave syrup, to serve (optional)

Steps:

Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.
Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the 'wet' banana mixture into the 'dry' flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.
Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.
Children: Drizzle with agave syrup if using.
