A very moist and delicious banana bread prepared with wholegrain rye flour, grapeseed flour and spiced with cinnamon. The add-in of roasted peanuts is optional. By replacing oil/butter with applesauce and whole eggs with egg white and vanilla whey protein, you can enjoy this old time favourite with less fat, and extra portion of protein.
|
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the wholegrain rye flour, grapeseed flour, vanilla whey powder, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Add in egg whites, soya milk, mashed bananas and applesauce. Beat with a whisk until well combined and smooth. Fold in roasted peanuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 40 minutes. Leave the cake to cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

It's so beautiful and inviting. Nice!
Rye is one of my favorite breads. The bananas must bring a nice moisture to the bread.

Love both banana and applesauce in your bread, Angie. Must be a nice tender crumb.
A very tasty looking bread Angie, and the peanuts are an unexpected surprise. I think I would love the flavour of this healthy bread toasted with a pat of butter.
I loveee banana bread! Love this variation,Angie!This variation sounds Healthy and it looks amazing!
Love the clever use of applesauce as an alternative, Angie! I like the crunch with the nuts.
Bananas and peanuts are a great combo.
I love the idea of adding the peanuts - lovely little crunch! I picked up some sprouted wheat flour this past weekend. Thought I would try some homemade crackers. You are an inspiration!
As always another great bread!!
I can have more of this bread because of its nutrients and as usual, love the pics!

I like that there is less fat in the bread - so you can slather it with loads of butter when you eat it!
Love how healthy this bread is. The peanuts are such a novel idea but makes total sense when I think about how much peanut-butter I put on bread. Good work!
