Homemade Banana Bread

Unlike traditional bread recipes, this recipe does not contain any flour in this recipe making it a healthy snack to enjoy with healthy ingredients. With no added sugar this makes a great choice for babies too. I have added homemade dates syrup as a replacement for sugar. This is not only good for kids but a great family snack to sit and enjoy.

Please Note: This recipe might contain an allergen. If introducing to babies, please make sure your baby is not allergic to any ingredient.

What do you need for this healthy blw banana bread recipe?

This healthy banana bread is made using organic ingredients. Here are the 6 ingredients that you need to make it.

• Banana – A ripened banana acts as a natural sweetener and gives a good smell and flavor to the bread. You can ripen the banana by baking in the oven for best results.
• Egg – One large egg acts as a binding agent. This is an allergen and it is essential to introduce it separately for babies before trying this recipe.
• Oats – I have used roasted and powdered oats to make this bread which is a healthy alternate for flours. You can choose to use coconut flour or store bought oats flour as well.
• Dates – A natural sweetener and also high in Iron, dates makes this bread healthier and tastier. You either use a date paste or homemade dates syrup.
• Baking soda – A pinch of baking soda makes this bread fluffy and soft. You can choose to not add them.
• Vanilla essence (optional) – I added a couple drops to introduce flavor to my kids. You can choose to not add it, banana does give a natural flavor anyway.

FAQs blw Banana Bread

1. Why is my banana bread fuggy?

It is common when you use heavier and wetter ingredients such as bananas. Using a pinch of baking soda or any alternative leavening agent prevents banana bread from being fuggy.

2. Why is my banana bread not fluffy?

Over-mixing or over stirring can lead to a hard rubbery texture. Gently mix in all the wet ingredients and then mix the dry ingredients to get soft and fluffy banana bread.

3. Is it OK to freeze banana bread?

Yes. You can freeze and use it for up to 3 months but after which it loosens the taste and texture. Banana bread tastes best when you eat it fresh.

4. How over ripe should bananas be for banana bread?

More ripen means the best banana bread that tastes best. Black bananas are usually the best. So, if you have a leftover banana that is overripe and you are about to throw it, you know what to do now! Mash them and turn them into delicious banana bread.
