28 Dec Superfood Banana Bread
Choose very ripe bananas. Since the recipe has no added sugar, very ripe bananas will add natural sugar. The riper the better. This recipe is also a good anti-waste idea, don’t throw away your bananas even if they start to turn black. Use them for this recipe!
If you want a vegan version, choose a plant milk like coconut milk instead of buttermilk. For the eggs, mix 2 tbsp powdered flax seeds with 2 tbsp water. Let it sit for 10 minutes and use it like an egg!
For alternatives, you can swap flax seeds for chia seeds, almonds with another nut you prefer. You can also use fresh figs or choose another fruit. Choose one that it is not too juicy.
