Banana Bread
Gluten-free, vegan and without sugar
I have a new favorite breakfast every couple of weeks. At the top of my personal hit list are my oat waffles from “Schön & Gesund”, which I have eaten almost every day, not just for weeks but for years. Lately my newest thing has been the good old banana bread, although I’ve been working hard on the recipe. I wanted to make it gluten-free and as healthy as possible without additional sweeteners. After all, it’s the first thing I eat, and I want the day to start healthy and delicious.
After a lot – A LOT – of attempts, I am now completely in love with the new recipe. The icing on the cake, by the way, came about by accident. I was already quite satisfied with the result, but found the consistency a bit too dense – typical of a banana bread. No matter what I tried, the consistency stayed the same. One day I didn’t have enough bananas in the house. So, without further ado, I put a grated an apple into the dough. Lo and behold: that was the solution! Now the dough was beautifully fluffy and exactly as I had dreamed it would be. I am always grateful to such coincidences because they make life so much more yumm. Now I always get restless when the last slice of banana bread is gone, because I’m worried about next day’s breakfast. Fortunately, the bread is mixed together really quickly. All you need is a bowl, a baking pan, an oven and that’s it! Then you will have a wonderful, aromatic breakfast for several days, which you can look forward to when you wake up.
And now my question for you: what breakfast o you like best? Are you more of a savory or sweet breakfast type? I’m looking forward to your comment below!
