Banana Bread

I am so thankful to have come across this gluten-free, sugar-free banana bread recipe.  The link to the original recipe, from Plan to Eat, is at the bottom of the page.  I veganized it, of course.  Don't be scared off by how healthy it is.  It's also delicious.  Seriously.





Ingredients:

6 large, ripe bananas
2/3 cup raw coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups oat flour (I use my Baby Bullet to mill oatmeal)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two loaf pans.  In a large bowl mash bananas with a fork.  Add coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla.  (I usually just use my Kitchen Aid mixer.)

2.  In a separate, medium sized bowl combine oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.  Whisk until completely combined.

3.  Add the dry ingredients about 1/3 at a time, mixing until barely combined each time.

4.  Fold in the nuts.

5.  Scrape batter into prepared loaf pans and bake for about 50 minutes.

6.  Once cooked, place on a cooling rack.  I eat it plain, but I'm sure raw coconut oil or Earth Balance would go well on top!
