Plum-Banana Breakfast Squares, Vegan and Gluten-Free

These plum-banana breakfast squares are the result of wanting to use up some of the abundance of a backyard plum harvest.  I will also be making a plum upside-down cake to take to Church tomorrow (but not a very healthy recipe, so it won't be on this blog).

We will use some of these plums today:

I love these little orbs of sunshine.  I call them "Little Golden Plums" although I know they must have a proper scientific name.

😶You can use any sort/named plum but make sure you remove the stone when prepping them.

😶Set the Oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 180 C.

😶Make your flaxseed or chia seed egg:

·    1 tbsp ground Flaxseed or Chia Seed + 3 tbsp water- whisk up together and set aside until it is the consistency of whisked egg white, creamy and sticky (about 10-15 minutes)

    😶Add the flaxseed/chia seed egg to the following in your food processor:

·         6oz Coconut Milk 

·         1 ripe Banana, mashed

·         1 tsp pure Vanilla extract

·         1 cup Almond Meal

·         2 cup Oat Flour (use certified gluten-free oats if necessary- I ground mine up in the Vitamix)

·         ½ cup Coconut Shreds

·         3/4 cup Coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)

·         1 tsp Baking Soda

·         ¼ tsp Sea Salt

·         😶 After whirling the above together, pour into a medium size bowl and mix in:

• ·         1 cup fresh Plums, chopped into quarters

·  😶Spoon or pour the above into an 8x8 pan, either lined with parchment (my preference) or sprayed with cooking oil.

😶Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes.

😶Remove and cool right in the pan on a rack (the cooler the better to keep its shape).

😶Cut into squares and serve when cool.

• Cake for brekky anyone??😁
