This was an experiment I’ll admit, but it was a rather delicious one. This is a great way to use up any leftover roast / boiled pumpkin as well as old bananas. The rhubarb is entirely optional and was just what I had in the fridge!

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup flaxseed meal, 1/2 cup buckwheat flour and  1/2 cup vanilla pea protein  –> BUT you can substitute ALL of this with 1.5 cups of plain flour of your choice + 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 over-ripe bananas (must be over-ripe for this to work!)
• 100g roasted or boiled pumpkin
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup almond milk (or whatever milk takes your fancy)
• 2 tbsp Nuttalex olive oil spread (or just use butter or coconut oil)
• If using rhubarb – bake 4 stalks of rhubarb until soft, then mush with a fork until it forms a rough puree

Method 

1. Preheat the oven to 200*C and line a brownie tin with baking paper.
2. Place the pumpkin, banana, milk, eggs and butter in the blender and blend until smooth.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed, buckwheat, protein powder and baking soda, then stir in the mixture from the blender until well combined.
4. Pour into the baking dish and swirl in the rhubarb by placing small blobs on top and dragging through the mixture with a butter knife.
5. Bake until firm and risen (about 25-30 minutes). Allow to cool, the cut into slices (I find it easier to cut into 9 chunks, and then cut these in half through the middle).
