Description

Vegan, gluten-free and high in protein - this simple marbled banana bread provides over 6 grams of protein per serving!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup chickpea flour (100 g)
  • 1 cup oat flour (100 g)
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp buckwheat flour (70 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3-4 bananas, very ripe ( 360 g or 1 3/4 - 2 cups, mashed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (80 g)
  • 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup plant milkf
  • 4 tbsp unsweetended nut butter (80 g) (e.g. peanut butter)
  • 3-4 tbsp cocoa powder (30 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C (340 °F). Mix the first five ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, smash the bananas with a fork, add 1/2 cup plant milk and the other wet ingredients and mix well.
  3. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Transfer 1/3 of the dough to another bowl, add 1/4 cup plant milk and the cocoa powder and mix.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased bread tin (or use a silicon cake mold) alternating between the bright and the dark batter to create a marbled pattern. Keep in mind that you have more of the bright dough.
  5. Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for about 40 min till golden brown on top.
  6. Let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

You should keep the banana bread in the fridge. It may become a little dry over time. Simply reheat the slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before seeving - this will make them moist again.
