Preheat oven to 180˚C/350˚F.
Lightly grease the base and sides of a loaf tin with coconut oil. Line the base with baking
paper.
Mash the banana in a bowl. Add the egg and mash again. Add the remaining ingredients
except for the blueberries and stir until well combined.
Add the blueberries and stir gently.
Mix together until combined. The consistency should be wet. If the mixture is too dry, add
a splash of cold water or milk.
Pour the mixture into the tin and even out the surface with a spatula.
Bake for 20 minutes or until firm. A skewer inserted should come out clean when cooked.
Remove from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool.
Cut into 6 slices. Serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze on same day.

About the Author Nico Valla

I'm a parent, teacher, coach — and I’ve lived the burnout spiral myself.

In 2019 stress landed hard with chest pain, a scary ECG moment and the realisation that something had to change. I rebuilt my health through sleep, stress regulation, nutrition and sensible movement — not pills.

Since then I’ve coached hundreds of people to do the same. This programme bundles the tools I wish I’d had sooner so you can get back to feeling human again.
