I’ve created this banana bread thinking of my brother. He works in a school that is nut free and he has difficulty digesting wheat. I wanted something he could bring to school as a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 2 C spelt flour
- 1 ts baking powder (I use aluminum free)
- 1 ts baking soda
- 1/8 ts sea salt
- 1 C very ripe bananas mashed (2 bananas)
- 1/2 C unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 C nut free milk (I used Coconut milk beverage. If dairy isn’t an issue you can use cow’s milk)
- 2 ts pure vanilla extract
- 1 C coconut sap/sugar (coconut sugar can be found in natural food store)
- 2/3 C chocolate chunks (I use the Enjoy Life brand, as they are made in a nut free facility and are vegan)
- Big handful of LOVE!!
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Lightly oil the sides and bottom of your loaf pan (I take 1/4 ts of coconut oil)
- In a large bowl beat/whisk together the applesauce, sugar, milk & vanilla
- Add banana purée and beat/whisk until creamy
- Measure out your 2 C of spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then sift everything together in a bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until well combined
- Stir in the chocolate chunks
- Pour batter in your loaf pan and bake for 60-75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
- Remove from oven and put on wire rack for about 30 min. Then remove from pan and let cool on wire rack until completely cool
