Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 (240g) cup buckwheat flour*
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (75g) coconut sugar
  • 250g overripe bananas (2-3)
  • 1/2 cup (125g) almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30g) molasses (optional)
  • 3/4 cup sparkling water** (or nondairy milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Blend the bananas, almond butter, molasses (if using), coconut sugar, vanilla, and sparkling water. 
  4. Add wet to dry and mix to combine.
  5. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
  6. Top with a sprinkling of chopped walnuts and dusting of coconut sugar (optional).
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350ºF.
  8. Cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
  9. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

*Ground from RAW buckwheat, you do not want the dark toasted kind.

**This makes the bread extra fluffy, but nondairy milk is fine too.
