This yummy Thermomix banana bread is a great recipe for using up nut milk pulp from making plant based milks.
Anyone who makes their own nut milks will know that not only do you make milk, but you’re left with a whole heap of pulp.
You can add this pulp to thicken casseroles and soups, use in baking or dehydrate it to make coconut flour.
Nut Milk Pulp Banana Bread can be made with any sort of nut milk pulp you have. My Cashew Coconut Milk recipe uses 140g cashew and coconut, so this recipe is based on that quantity.
When making the milk, be sure to squeeze every bit of moisture you can out of the pulp before using.

Made the cashew coconut milk this morning and im looking forward to trying this banana bread in morning 🙂
This is cooking now, smells delicious. I only had organic white flour, hoping it will be ok. Thanks for the great recipes.
Made the milk and bread for the first time today and love, love both! The bread is so delicious, thanks so much.
Love this recipe!!! Was so easy to make and turned out beautifully! Love that the bread is not too sweet, is really moist and has a nice texture. Sliced some up the next day(not that there was much left!) and heated in the oven to warm, was just as nice as the day it was made! Really popular with the whole family, so is the milk, will be making both of these recipes regularly! Look forward to trying some of your other recipes!
Im interested in subbing the spelt flour too being gluten intolerant. Maybe gf flour?
Give it a go! I haven’t worked with GF flour much at all, I’d prob just do a straight swap.
I subbed 70g coconut flour and a couple tablespoons of arrowroot flour and added an extra egg. It was really nice! !
Do you think almond meal would sub ok for spelt flour?
I’m not really sure to be honest but if you try it like that I would love to know how you go.
Not sure what I did wrong but it didn’t work it burnt on the outside and uncooked in the inside even though I had to let it cook for over 80 minutes I used frozen pulp and frozen bananas and soy milk not sure if that’s why 🙁
Oh no, sorry to hear this 🙁 I’m not sure why this has happened. Soy milk should not have made a difference, I’m not sure about the frozen bits. As long as the pulp was very thoroughly wrung out so no moisture was left before freezing it really should be fine.
Oh, I am fed going to make this today! Always needed a recipe to use up the nut milk pulp and banana bread is a favourite of ours!
Hi Bec, looks like a delicious recipe. Ive got some nut pulp in the fridge, its been there for 5 days. Not sure if its ok to use for this banana bread, do u know the shelf life of pulp?
Hi Romina, 5 days would be borderline. Give it a smell, you’ll know if it’s still ok as it gets a bad smell when it’s not x
[…] Into your Thermomix bowl, place the nuts, coconut and 1.3L water. Process for 2 minutes on speed 9 then strain through a nut milk bag. Save the pulp, you will need it to make my nut milk pulp banana bread. […]
