• 50g tiger nut flour or spelt flour

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it.

2. Make the batter:

   • Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.

   • Beat the eggs and add them to the mashed bananas along with the coconut oil or butter.

   • Add the flours, baking powder, spices, salt, and sweetener, then mix well.

   • Stir in the chopped nuts.

3. Prepare the crumble:

   • In a bowl, mix the coconut blossom sugar, butter, and cinnamon with a fork until it forms a crumbly mixture.

   • Optionally, add finely ground nuts or oats for extra crunch.

4. Bake the banana bread:

   • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

   • Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the batter.

   • Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

5. Cool & Top with Seeds (Seed Cycling):

   • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it out and cool further on a rack.

   • Optionally, top with seeds according to your cycle.
