It is a vegan and gluten free banana bread without sugar at all. It has delicious and healthy pieces of dates for a touch of sweetness. This recipe of gluten free banana and date bread keeps you full longer the healthy way.
I can’t resist this bread neither the kids.
How easy is this recipe
You blend the oat flakes and the buckwheat groats into flour. For me it is so easy and it’s a nice way to cut the costs by blending the flakes and groats into your own flour. And any good quality blender should be able to do the job.
In the meantime, you mash the bananas, add the dates pieces and the chia seeds mixed with the nut milk.
Then you mix half of the flour with the banana mixture, adding baking powder and cinnamon. Add the rest of the flour and mix again.
Finally you bake it for 35 minutes. You can optionally top it with extra banana pieces, vanilla powder and maple syrup for a delicious sweet crust.
And your gluten free banana and date bread is ready. Quick and easy.
Gluten free bread
By using oat flour and buckwheat flour, you have a gluten free bread, more digest and perfect if you are intolerant to gluten.
You could use any other flour you have handy and let me know how does it work.
Gluten free options for breakfast
As I like to reduce my gluten intake, I very often go for a gluten free breakfast option. My week habits are :
an easy yoghurt (but dairy free) bowl
and a blueberry smoothie bowl with acai powder !
Another way to make some creamy (but vegan) morning bowls is to mix some soaked cashews and buckwheat groats. So delish. I am sure you would love to try it out a creamy cashew buckwheat bowl.
And for sure they are all dairy free, plant-based and insanely tasty. Taste is my motto, Guys !
