Buckwheat Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups buckwheat flour (180g)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1.5 cups mashed overripe banana ((about 3 medium, or 550g))
• 1/4 cup coconut oil or olive oil (60 ml)
• 1/3 cup almond milk or milk of choice (80 ml)
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 125 g honey
• handful chocolate chips or nuts if desired

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Place oven rack slightly lower than the middle of the oven.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, oil, milk, lemon juice and honey. Stir well.

3. 3

   In a smaller bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the banana in three batches, mixing well after each addition. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Transfer the banana bread batter to the prepared pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and or nuts. Bake for around 50-55 minutes or until the bread has turned golden brown, the top springs back when you prod it, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out pretty clean. It's a moist bread so there may be a few crumbs.
