Vegan Banana Bread, no added sugar

Banana bread, vegan and no added sugar

Wet ingredients:

100 g dates, steamed until tender in microwave (4-5 min) in water to cover, then blend (I like to use an immersion blender)

2 T ground flax - add to the steamed dates to soak

1 t vanilla

3 mashed overripe bananas

½ C oil

Let this sit at least 15 min. while you prepare the dry ingredients and preheat the oven:

2 C whole grain flour (I prefer barley)

1 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

Pinch salt

Combine wet & dry ingredients. Grease a loaf pan and add the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.

If you want to use gluten-free flour, you’ll probably need to use xanthan gum to keep the bread from crumbling.
