Healthy Banana
Bread

INGREDIENTS:
For 1 Bread Loaf - approx. 8 servings
-
250 grams all-purpose flour (I substituted 50g all-purpose flour for coconut flour, you can also substitute 50g for a different kind of flour such as almond meal, spelt flour etc)
-
1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal with 3 tbsp water)
-
90g rolled oats (2 dl)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 tbsp cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
200ml almond milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
5 mashed bananas (try to use very brown bananas for a sweet banana bread)
Optional add ons (roughly chopped walnuts and choc chips)
DIRECTIONS:
-
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees (C) and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
-
Prepare your flax egg (vegan egg) by combining the flax meal and water in a small cup and leaving for 5 minutes to thicken.
-
Mix the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder and cinnamon.
-
In another bowl mash the bananas. Add the vanilla, maple syrup and milk to the mashed bananas and mix together.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together with a spoon. If the mixture seems too dry add a little more almond milk.
-
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf tin and smooth out with a little water. Then taking a sharp knife cut a line down the middle of the loaf about 1/4 cm deep and starting and finishing about 10 cm from each end of the loaf.
-
Bake the bread at the bottom of the oven for 35 minutes at 175 degrees hot air. (approx.)
-
The bread is ready when it is crispy and golden! It is a much denser banana bread! Enjoy with a slice of butter
Note: Flax meal is just grounded flax seeds (aka know as linseed)
