Banana bread is a fantastic way to use up overripe bananas, but the typical recipes are packed to the rafters with sugar, even the vegan ones.
They also tend to use flour for bulk, plus oil to keep the bread moist.
And I’m really keen to use as many whole foods as possible in my recipes these days.
So I created this healthy wholefood vegan banana bread recipe.
It’s gluten-free, paleo and naturally sweetened. How about that?
Getting the moisture levels right is one of the trickiest things when you’re making banana bread.
Too much banana or liquid, and you end up with a sticky, goopy lump.
Too little, and the banana bread is dry and crumbly.
But this gluten free banana bread recipe is just right…
And I’m totally in love with the fact that it uses no refined ingredients whatsoever (apart from a teaspoon of baking powder, that is).
No flour, no coconut oil, no liquid sweeteners, just whole, unprocessed, plant-based ingredients.
And it’s gluten-free as well. In fact it doesn’t contain any grains at all.
Of course, apart from this vegan banana bread’s impressive health pedigree, it also happens to taste absolutely, freaking amazing.
So good that I’m happy to eat the dough straight off the spoon.
So delicious that none of it’s lasted long enough to make it into the freezer.
So tasty that I could happily eat this all day long.
(Sheesh! Writing these posts makes me SO hungry!)
It’s perfect as a snack, for afternoon tea, morning tea, a before bed snack, breakfast, lunch, dinner, elevenses, and yes, maybe even second breakfast.
So if you’re looking for a way to use up those black, spotty overripe bananas, without whacking your body with a bunch of processed ingredients, I think you’ll be VERY satisfied with my paleo vegan gluten-free banana bread.
