Healthy Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 scant cup mashed super ripe bananas (200g // about 1 1/2 medium bananas)
• 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp drippy tahini (90g // or any runny nut butter)
• 3/4 cup lite coconut milk (180g // or any dairy free milk)
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (60g)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract (10g)
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (10g)
• 1 cup + 3 tbsp fine oat flour (140g // store bought or homemade)
• 2/3 + 2 tbsp cup white rice flour (120g)
• 2 tbsp potato starch (30g // not potato flour)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Line or grease a 8×4 inch loaf tin.

2. 2

   Into a large mixing bowl, weigh in the bananas and mash until pureed. You could also blend the bananas until smooth if you prefer a uniform banana bread with no chunks of bananas. Pour in the tahini, dairy free milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar and whisk until combined.

3. 3

   Add in the oat flour, rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until well combined.

4. 4

   Transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes. If you have a nice golden crust on the top already, place tin foil over the loaf and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until it’s springy to the touch and skewer comes out clean when inserted in the middle. Total baking time should be about 55-60 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from the oven and then carefully remove the banana bread out of the loaf pan. Be sure to run a dull knife around the edges where the banana bread is touching the pan without parchment paper between it. Place on a wire rack and allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
