Ingredients
For the Base:
- 1 large banana
- 2 eggs
- 150ml oat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100g gluten-free flour
- 50g oats
- 100g Natvia Synbiotic sweetener
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
For the Drizzle:

- Large pinch cinnamon
For the Persimmons:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Method
- Blend all of the ingredients for the loaf until thick and smooth. Spoon this mixture into a greased and lined loaf tin and bake at 180C for 30-40 minutes until golden and risen. Leave to cool.
- Once the loaf has cooled, place on a wire rack. Melt the coconut oil and nut butter for the drizzle, then stir in the Natvia and cinnamon. Spoon this over the loaf to cover.
- Heat up the coconut oil and Natvia and cook the persimmon slices on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften and slightly browned. Set aside and leave to cool.
- Arrange the persimmon slices on top of the loaf and scatter over some granola. Slice up and serve!
