Banana bread is one of the many guilty pleasures most of us enjoy, however one slice generally comes packed full of sugar. Therefore, food blogger @cocohealth has re-worked the traditional recipe to create a more wholesome and diet-friendly alternative.
“I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t love banana bread, but unfortunately the store bought versions are ladened with sugar and butter,” she insists. “Give my recipe a go; sugar, dairy and gluten free – you can satisfy your cravings without the guilt!”
If you’re more of the sweet tooth, adjust the recipe according to personal preference by adding a couple of tablespoons of honey or extra sweetener. Enjoy topped with tahini and a drizzle of rice malt syrup or peanut butter.
Ingredients
3 mashed ripe bananas (optional extra banana to slice on top.
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 eggs
2 tbsp Natvia natural sweetener or Stevia
1/4 cup walnuts, crushed
1 cup almond meal
1 cup buckwheat flour (can omit and sub for extra cup almond meal)
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp baking powder + 1 tbsp lemon juice
