Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup palm shortening
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (additive free)*
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (approximately 1 large banana)
  • 2 TBSP maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp tigernut flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 gelatin egg (1 TBSP apple cider vinegar, 1.5 TBSP gelatin, 1/4 cup hot water)
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 TBSP lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper (I use an 7.5 x 3.5 inch loaf pan to get a bit more of a rise but a standard loaf pan will also work!)
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix palm shortening and coconut butter with coconut milk, lemon juice, vanilla and banana until it’s a smooth mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine cassava flour, tigernut flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. 
  5. Next, make gelatin egg by mixing apple cider vinegar with gelatin powder and hot water. Whisk with fork until all the gelatin is dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
  6. Immediately fold in gelatin egg. The texture of the batter should become fluffier. 
  7. Next, fold in the lemon zest and then raspberries.
  8. Bake on middle rack for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the bread is clean.
  9. Carefully remove loaf in the parchment paper and place on a metal cooling rack. 
  10. Let cool completely before slicing or the loaf will crumble.
  11. Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.

Notes

* Full fat coconut milk is key here
