Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Wet ingredients:
  • 4 medium ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 1/2 cup date syrup
Dry ingredients:
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (use a mix of other flours to add variety: buckwheat, amaranth, almond, coconut, etc.).
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground clove
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of sode (baking soda)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
  • 1/4 cup blueberries (optional)
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
Optional toppings:
  • pumpkin or sunflower seeds
  • oats
  • sliced bananas

Method
 

  1. Roughly mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining wet ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet. Do not overmix, or the banana bread can come out dense and sticky! Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Transfer the batter to your oven tray, and sprinkle on your toppings.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes at 175 C / 350 F, then lower the heat to 150 C and bake for 10-15 minutes longer. Insert a butter knife in the centre to check if it comes out clean.
    Enjoy!
