Sugar Free Vegan Emmer Banana Bread

Labels: { , , , }

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This refined sugar-free banana bread is very simple, quick, yet delicious, nutritious, and makes a wonderful breakfast or snack for the family. While most banana bread recipes contain sugar, dairy and eggs, this vegan variation uses none of them, but is still moist and delicious. Feel free to substitute wholewheat flour for emmer flour and almond milk for soya milk.

  • 290 g Emmer grain, ground into flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 50 g Walnuts
  • 6 Pitted dates, roughly chopped
  • 250 ml Soya milk
  • 70 g Maple syrup
  • 30 g Macadamia oil
  • 3 Overripe bananas, mashed
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the ground emmer flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and chia seeds in a mixing bowl. Pulse walnuts and pitted dates until you have small pieces. Add to the flour mixture.
  3. In another bowl, mix soya milk, maple syrup, and macadamia oil until well combined. Add in mashed bananas and mix well.
  4. Pour the liquid to the dry mixture, stir until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the middle rack of hot oven for about 1 hour.

My boys love banana bread, but I'm concerned about too much sugar in it (should be called banana cake!). Your recipe seem to have solution for that!

SavoringTime in the Kitchen 27/3/14 14:08

I had to do a little research on emmer flour. Very interesting how ancient it actually is. I guess many people would be more familiar with farro - the same wheat product. I have some farro in the pantry. Maybe I should put it in my spice mill and try grinding it into flour :)

This looks like a healthy and delicious banana bread, Angie. I love the dates in it too.

Banana bread is one of my favorites.. it's so good warmed with a little butter (okay that totally takes away from it being vegan, but still!!) - the loaf looks amazing!!!

I love sugar free cakes. I find that by reducing sugar you eventually crave for it less and you get gradually used to enjoy cakes with less sugar in them. Beautifully delicious this bread Angie.

"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts. ~Graham Kerr " I LOVE THIS QUOTE! And the banana bread looks delicious, I can't believe you used no sugar. This is def going into my bookmarks.

Ah, lovely! At first I thought you might be introducing me to a new grain with your reference to emmer (I recognize this grain as "farro") lovely sweetening choices Angie -- I like that you didn't overdo it on the dates (little sugar bombs in their own right ;-) -- this sounds just perfect to me.
