About this dish
No added salt or sugar
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
Our cocoa loaf has no added sugar, which made it a fun challenge for the kitchen team. The sweetness comes from bananas and raisins, with just a little cocoa powder for richness.
It is soft and moist, so it works as a finger food for babies from 7 months, and toddlers love it as a breakfast or an afternoon treat. Warm it in the oven for a softer, cake-like slice.

Questions parents ask
Does the cocoa loaf have added sugar?
No. We sweeten it with banana and raisins only, and Jo sets exactly how much cocoa goes in so it suits little ones.
How do I serve the cocoa loaf?
Room temperature works best. For a softer treat, warm it in a preheated oven at 180C for 3 to 5 minutes. For babies under 2, add a dash of water and wrap it in foil first.
Is there a dairy-free cocoa loaf?
Yes. The dairy-free and egg-free version uses oat milk and golden raisins. Add your child's dietary needs to your account and we send that version.
