- 1/2 cup cauliflower (50 grams)
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat Greek natural yoghurt (65 grams)
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat milk of choice (62.5 mls)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (4 grams)
- 1 & 1/2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour (180 grams)

Method
- Preheat an oven to 180C and prepare a loaf tin by lining with baking paper.
- Steam the cauliflower until very tender, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly and add to a blender jug with milk and yoghurt, puree until smooth.

- Whisk flour, almond meal, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add banana mixture and fold until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 60-70 minutes, covering loosely with foil if browning too quickly. The loaf is done when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Slice loaf into 12 slices, 2 slices is 1 serve. Can be toasted.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze slices individually to defrost and toast as required.
