Raisin Oatbran Banana Einkorn Loaf

Monday, February 15, 2016

Found this recipe on Ricardo Cuisine, but I tweaked it a bit using what I have on hand and making it even healthier with ground whole-grain einkorn, oat bran, banana, coconut oil and liquid stevia. This makes a good snack, breakfast, or even dessert with a chocolate glaze or lemon icing.

110 g Wholegrain einkorn flour
80 g Oatbran
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Sea salt
120 ml Buttermilk
1/2 tsp Vanilla-flavoured liquid stevia
3 Very ripe bananas, mashed
1 Large egg
30 ml Coconut oil, melted
100 g Raisins

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a small loaf pan (21cmx10cm) and line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wholegrain einkorn flour, oatbran, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, liquid stevia, mashed bananas, egg and melted coconut oil with a whisk.
Stir in the dry ingredients until the flour is just moistened. Set aside 1tbsp of raisins for garnish and add the remaining ones to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with the reserved raisins and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean. Let cool completely before unmoulding. Slice and serve.
