You know on those days when you look at the fruit bowl and there's 2 or 3 overripe bananas that no one wants to eat and you think Banana Loaf here we go again! Well this week I decided that I was bored of my usual recipes and started hunting for something a bit different and something a bit more healthy. I came across a cracker of a recipe on Taste.Com. The recipe uses coconut flour, coconut oil and coconut sugar, oats, flaxseed (which I actually omitted as I didn't have any) and I used cranberries in place of the goji berries. I was blown away with how healthy and delicious this loaf was. Make sure you use gluten free baking powder if you want the gluten free version. I'm sure you'll enjoy it..

We're very pleased to present our new promotional video which we hope you enjoy and share with your friends and family. Big thanks to Sally from Sweet Shute for the very professional production, and I had the chance to play production assistant on the day of filming. It was a long day for such a short promotional film but great fun and a real insight into film making. We were also very lucky to have the services of Paul Beck from Helivista to take up our Cameraman Mal Hamilton to capture the aerial footage.
