It's a big call, but I'm gonna make it. Srsly. This is probably the best thing I've scoffed down in a long while. Banana bread, forever my favourite, but with crunchy walnuts and delicious choc chunks and just best texture, the best sweetness, the best banana-ness... guys, I just can't even explain how perfect this loaf turned out. Get it. Tag me. Love ya.
What you need:
5 ripe bananas
1 cup almond milk
2 cups buckwheat flour
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp bi carb soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup walnuts, chopped
2/3 cup choc chunks, or roughly chopped chocolate
What you need to do:
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Pop the five bananas and almond milk into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a big bowl, add the maple syrup and cinnamon and stir. Add the buckwheat flour and bi carb soda and mix until JUST combined. Add the walnuts and choccy, and fold through. Transfer into a greased/lined loaf pan; note this makes a big loaf, so depending on the size of your loaf pan you may have a little leftover batter. I did, and so I poured the leftovers into a muffin pan and ended up with a banana bread loaf plus four divine little muffins. Winner. Pop into the oven for 55-60 mins, until the top is browned up and a knife comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool a little bit, but not too much because this, warm from the oven, equals divine. Also divine the next day. Just a winner all round.

DeleteDear Madeleine
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I want to thank you for your efford you put into this. I tried it out and it was delicious. I am not good at cooking at all. The only reason why this dish succeeded is due to your claer description. Thanks for that. I have been searching for a while for this specific dish. Especialy such a decent one. You can't imagine how difficult that is. I am going to make this more often.
I hope you post a lot more of this kind of recipes.
Kind regards

doesn't bi carb soda need some acidic ingredient to activate? last time it didn't turn out that fluffy for me so I am considering also adding in baking powder in addition to the baking soda...
