Ingredients

Wet

  • 2 ripe medium Bananas
  • 1 Tbsp oil optional
  • 1/4 cup non dairy milk
  • 2-3 Tbsp maple syrup depends on the ripeness of the banana
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry

  • 1/2 cup Oat flour certified gluten-free
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup white rice flour
  • 1/4 cup amaranth flour or sorghum or millet or use half flour and half starch for lighter loaf.
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 365 degrees F / 180ºc.
  • Mash the bananas well. then mix in all the wet ingredients.
  • In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Add to the wet and mix to combine.
  • Fold in the walnuts. Drop the batter in a greased pan.
  • Even it out and bake for 40 minutes.Check with a toothpick from the center. it should come out almost clean. Bake longer if needed.
  • I used very ripe bananas. Use stevia/sugar to preference if the bananas are not sweet enough for the loaf. Or if the loaf is already baked and not sweet enough, serve warm with light maple drizzle.

Notes

For variations: Add sunflower/hemp/other seeds to make nut-free(Use oat flour to sub almond flour). Add a 1/4 cup cooked quinoa to the batter. Change up the spices.
For a with gluten version, use 1 1/4 cup flour (Spelt, white etc) instead of the oat, rice, almond, amaranth flour combination. Mix in with the baking powder,soda, spices and cornstarch. Add 1 cup of dry flour mix to the wet, then add more if needed and bake.
