Step 2
200 g plain flour – 1 tsp baking powder – ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda – 80 g brown sugar – 1 tsp ground cardamom
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and cardamom. Add the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Pour the batter into a loaf tin lined with parchment paper.

1 tsp coconut oil – 2 tbsp maple syrup – 1 tbsp Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Less Salt Soy Sauce – 1 banana (about 100 g), halved
In a frying pan, heat the coconut oil, add the maple syrup and Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce, then place the halved banana in the pan and caramelise for 1 minute on each side.
Step 4
50 g blueberries
Arrange the caramelised banana slices on top of the batter and drizzle with the remaining glaze from the pan. Garnish with the blueberries. Bake at 180 °C for about 45 minutes. Let the banana bread cool before slicing and serving.
