Tipps

  1. Banana bread is not very common in Austria, especially since the local sweet treats allow for a very large assortment. The recipe originates from the USA, but one can find it everywhere in different versions these days.
  2. This version of the popular classic is made without flour and oil, is vegan (egg-free, milk-free) and - if gluten free oatmeal is used - is also gluten-free.
  3. It is full of fibers, omega 3 fatty acids, vegetable proteins, vitamins and minerals. The bananas provide the sweetness, but you can also add 1 tablespoon of date syrup as a sweetener. Date syrup is one of the few sweeteners that is nutritionally valuable and contains nutrients rather than just sugars or substitutes found in common sweeteners.
  4. The tiger nuts give the recipe a light-nutty-sweet touch and guarantee an extra dose of fiber. (How to use tiger nuts? Recipe)
  5. The banana bread recipe can be modified as desired, you can replace the walnuts with other nuts, use flour instead of oatmeal, add dried fruit or chocolate chips - so there is something for every taste.

Zubereitung

  1. Peel the bananas, place them in a bowl and mash with a fork. Place the chia seeds in a glass with the water and let it rest for approximately 10 minutes, it should form a gel-like mass. The oats can be used as oats or processed to flour in the blender or with a food processor. Additionally, the walnuts should be chopped or broken into or smaller pieces.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients together and add the baking powder evenly. Next add the ripe bananas and Chia gel. Stir well. Gradually stir in the plant drink, it should form a mixture with a binding consistency. Tip: if you want to make the banana bread without the tiger nut leftovers, you can replace it with flour or the equivalent amount of oats or grated nuts (about 57g).
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C top / bottom heat. Line one baking form with baking paper and spread the dough evenly. Anyone who does not own a baking form or tin can, of course, use what they have - even banana muffins can be made with this dough! Peel the "extra" banana, cut it into strips and place it on top of the mixture as decoration, press in down a little. If you want to make muffins, you can slice the banana into smaller pieces and decorate the individual muffins with it.
  4. The bread goes into the oven for approximately 35-40 minutes at 180°C. It's best to do the stick test after 35 minutes - if some of the mixture is stuck to the stick, leave the banana bread in the oven for longer! Note: the bread will remain relatively soft due to the bananas, even if you then take the bread out of its shape. Once cooled, it should be easy to cut. (I do recommend you try a slice of fresh, very soft banana bread directly after taking it out of the oven... ;-)!)
  5. Should there be any leftover banana bread, you can keep it in the fridge. Do consume it as soon as possible.
