Servings:
1My favourite meal as a child was mashed bananas with custard which is perhaps why I enjoy this dish so much.
These proportions with do for a small snack but double the amounts if you're hungry.
Ingredients:
1 large ripe banana
1/2 tablespoon lucuma
1/2 tablespoon ground flax seeds
small
handful currants
hazlenut milk (or other milk of your choice)
Preparation:
Mash the banana in a bowl with a fork.
Stir in the lucuma, flax seeds and currants.
Cover with hazlenut milk and mix. The consistency should be porridge like.

1. DID YOU USE LUCUMA POWDER OR
DID YOU USE LUCUMA POWDER OR FRESH LUCUMA?
2. This was a lovely filling,
This was a lovely filling, easy and mellow breakfast. It was just the right sweetness and consistency. My husband and daughter (non-raw) both liked it too and cleaned their bowls. The only thing I did differently was to swap the currants for some pomegranate and it was really good.
3. I just bought my first chia
I just bought my first chia seeds today so I'm excited to try them with this.
4. This is the type of breakfast
This is the type of breakfast I make often for the kids. I tried this one without the lucuma and I replaced the flac with ground chia seeds. Delicious!
5. I added the lucuma because I
I added the lucuma because I love its flavour. I think that a ripe banana is sweet enough without any added sweeteners and the lucuma isn't necessary. However it is described as having a maple syrup like taste so if you're not 100% raw I think a splash of maple syrup would be lovely in this. Pixx's suggestions also sound good. x
6. I'm guessing the lucuma is
I'm guessing the lucuma is added as a sweetener. Maybe agave, or some date syrup (dates & water -or orange juice- blended to syrup consistency), could possibly work? Just guessing here, but sounds good to me-- I think I'll try it! :~)
