Grape seed flour is obtained from winery by-products (skins, seeds and stems) generated during wine-making. In addition to antioxidants, grape seed flour is a good source of magnesium, calcium, iron, healthy fats, protein and fibre. There are several different types of grape seed flour each with a slightly different flavour and colour depending on the grape varietal they were derived from, i.e. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot etc. It is gluten-free and very versatile in the kitchen: as an ingredient in baked goods of all kinds, like bread, pizza or cakes, but also great in yogurt or cereal, or smoothies.

30 g Grape seed flour
70 g Almond flour
180 g Refined spelt flour
5 g Baking powder
7 g Baking soda
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
Pinch of salt

80 ml Grape juice
60 g Grapeseed oil
2 Large eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract
60 g Coconut syrup
4 Ripe bananas, mashed
100 g Dried cranberries
Sprinkles, optional

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line a 10cm x 26cm loaf pan with baking paper.
Combine grapeseed flour, almond flour, spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and pinch of salt in a large bowl.
Whisk grape juice, grape seed oil, eggs, vanilla, coconut syrup and mashed bananas in a separate bowl. Add the liquid mixture to flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in the dried cranberries.
Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface. Top with the sprinkles if using. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean. Set aside in pan for 10 minutes to cool before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

So interesting how the flours vary in flavor and color based on the particular grapes. So cool! And of course, the bread is lovely!
