Ingredients

Wet

  • 2 ripe medium Bananas
  • 1 Tbsp oil (optional)
  • 1/4 cup non dairy milk
  • 2-3 Tbsp maple syrup (depends on the ripeness of the banana)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry

  • 1/2 cup Oat flour (certified gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup white rice flour
  • 1/4 cup amaranth flour (or sorghum or millet or use half flour and half starch for lighter loaf.)
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot starch)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 365 degrees F / 180ºc.
  2. Mash the bananas well. then mix in all the wet ingredients.
  3. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Add to the wet and mix to combine.
  4. Fold in the walnuts. Drop the batter in a greased pan.
  5. Even it out and bake for 40 minutes.Check with a toothpick from the center. it should come out almost clean. Bake longer if needed.
  6. I used very ripe bananas. Use stevia/sugar to preference if the bananas are not sweet enough for the loaf. Or if the loaf is already baked and not sweet enough, serve warm with light maple drizzle.
