- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a standard-size loaf pan lined with baking paper. In a large bowl, combine the ground black rice, flaxseed flour, crushed flaxseed, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, mashed bananas, sugar, applesauce, coconut oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Pour the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle with walnuts. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. If the top is darkening too quickly, cover it with foil. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Beautiful bread Angie. I have a bag of black rice & have never used it. Thank you.

This banana bread looks moist and really delicious. Black rice flour is new to me, sound interesting and something that I should try. Wonderful pictures, make me want to grab a piece of banana bread for myself.
I love this healthy banana bread! I love the idea of using the rice! I have never tried anything like that! Sounds cool!
Angie , that is one pretty delicious banana bread ! The black forbidden rice sounds sinful , I'm gonna Google it by and by :D
I always love the sound of 'forbidden rice'. This looks very yummy!!
Super tempting cake
Looks like an interesting recipe. I don't bake with bananas as much anymore as our son developed an allergy to them.
Great way of taking my daily dose of flaxseeds; looks intriguingly good!
So so healthy and looks really delicious!
I recently made a chocolate banana bread but it is not at all healthy like yours! This is a lovely loaf and the crumb texture looks perfect. Applesauce is wonderful in baked goods. I never dreamed of baking with black rice but my husband and I love it. This is a special recipe for sure!
Just a spectacular loaf! That slice is SO enticing---great looking bread, Angie!
wow, looks very rich even when its very healthy.
wow, looks very rich even when its very healthy.
You always have the most wonderful healthy breads! I have forbidden rice, but have never thought of making it into flour. This loaf is gorgeous and sounds so good! :)
Another healthier banana bread variant! I love it.
Your cakes always look so healthy you made me feel a bit guilty for baking sinful ones lol! Love the color of this bread!
I've never baked anything with ground rice. Very interesting, Angie. And it looks so moist!
I love your beautiful slice of tree trunk, Angie! How beautifully aged and colored it is on the side. A perfect prop for this gorgeous bread. I love the texture that rice flour imparts to cakes like this. I don't know if I can find black forbidden rice flour but I do have a bag of brown rice flour that I used for my latest baking project. I'll be saving this recipe to try!
We just love banana bread and even though we have a standard recipe, I've always been looking for a more healthy, deep, dark banana bread recipe. The ingredients in this are sure to be the winning recipe Angie! Thank you for sharing! Pinned and saved!

I love bread made with rice and yours sounds delicious, Angie! Our bakery used to make a similar bread years ago so this is a must try. Like the "tree" also!
Always learning something new from you like black forbidden rice for instance. This is an absolute must bake for me. Thank you Angie!

Beautiful and delicious!.....it is a wonderful idea to use this mix...I love it!......Abrazotes, Marcela
The texture looks perfect! Love all the variety of healthy flours in your pantry!
Sounds like very tasty cake, I love all ingredients. Speaking of: you have so many good recipes with spelt flour, and I got the bag of organic spelt flour a few days ago. I need to search some interesting recipes on your blog for cake or cookies or bread. Thank you for sharing your creations with us!

Another beautiful loaf. Thanks for the inspiring recipes Angie.
So beautiful and tempting!
@IndrėThe black rice is actually a black glutinous rice which serves as a thickening agent in gluten free baking. If you are planning to use red rice, you might want to replace some with cornstarch.
You have the best healthy bread and cake recipes! I love that you used ground black forbidden rice, such a creative idea! This looks amazing, Angie! Wish I had a slice for breakfast right now!
I wish I were biting into a slice of this for breakfast! It's a nutritional superstar.

Never thought of making my own rice flour, I do have black rice in my pantry should give it a try.

This is like healthy German version of banana bread-rich and dark. Very nice.

This is one healthy banana bread. As a fan of banana bread-which you will soon see-I must say that there are never enough recipes to try! One could have a banana bread contest, but I bet they would all be winners! Oh Angie! Another one to try!

Black rice bread, very intrigued, again. THe texture looks mighty good Angie. I'm sure it tastes pretty good. Great job on another healthy option.
That looks so moist !! I love the dark rich color.
I have been alllll about banana bread lately - and this looks so different than my go-to recipe! Sounds delicious!
You always come up with some interesting recipes. I would imagine using the black rice adds moisture to this bread. I'm saving this to try someday. Sounds delicious!
Hi Angie, grinding the black rice is such a great idea, bet this is delicious!!
You amaze me each time I see the diversity of your breads and cakes. This one must be amazing. Why is the black rice flour called forbidden?
Love the breakdown of wet and dry ingredients, for one :) Sugar-free, dairy-free and GF can't look better than this! Great recipe!

This is so strange, Angie, I know I commented here on this post yet I don't see it. I wonder if it has anything to do with my google account. I know I've had trouble commenting on blogspot because I don't have an account. Can you tell me if you see my comments at all? I've been commenting pretty regularly and I would hate for you to think I abandoned you because you are so good about commenting on my humble blog. Thank you, feel free to delete this after you see it, it's really nothing to do with your gorgeous recipe. Eva https://kitcheninspirations.wordp XOXO
This banana bread looks delicious, it would be perfect for breakfast!
I just bought some forbidden rice to check it out as a rice. I never would have thought to use it as a flour. What a creative banana bread! I'll take both of those cut pieces and maybe a third. :)
@Eva Taylor I really appreciate your comments, Eva. I guess the first comment didn't get through, though if you used google account, there shouldn't have had any problem.
Why is it called FORBIDDEN rice? ha ha!
@GiGi Eats Celebrities
Forbidden rice may have gotten its name because only emperors in ancient China were allowed to eat it, due to its rarity and high nutritional value. Another possibility for the origin of its name is the possibility that the Greeks banned the rice when they conquered the Middle East. They may have done this believing that the rice somehow helped their enemies in battle. The alternate name of emperor's rice seems to back up the first theory, but the name may have followed the theory. You can find more details here : http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-forbidden-rice.htm
I'm trying to bake Gluten free lately, so this is simply amazing Angie! And I'm SO intrigued by the black rice! Might need to go on an expedition tothe chinese market...
OMG I so love this. Do you actually ground the black rice yourself? I would love to do it and use it on some of my baking recipes :-)
What a lovely looking loaf I adore banana!
This banana bread look so awesome & special! What is black forbidden rice?
