SUGAR FREE BANANA BREAD
MAKES 1 SMALL LOAF | TAKES 30-45 MINUTES
-
This banana bread recipe is delicious, high in fibre, and healthy enough for breakfast! It is completely free from added sugar and gluten. Buckwheat is also naturally rich in protein, minerals, fibre, and B-vitamins. It’s important that you use ripe bananas for this recipe as they provide the sweetness needed without any added refined sugar.
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups buckwheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup EVOO
1/4 cup soy milk
3 large overripe bananas + 1 optional for topping
100g sugar free dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts (optional, but recommended)
METHOD
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celcius and line a banana bread tin with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add in the buckwheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and mix until well combined.
Mash your bananas well either with a fork or by using a blender (I prefer using a blender for a smoother consistency).
Pour the mashed/blended bananas and all the other wet ingredients into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
Fold all ingredients together until well combined.
Pour the banana bread mixture into your lined tray.
If using, slice an extra banana lengthwise and place the two halves on top for decoration.
Place into the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or if using an air fryer bake for 30 minutes.
Leave for a few hours to cool - once cooled, slice and enjoy!
Store in an air tight container in the fridge!
