Making your own banana bread is not difficult and obviously the most delicious! This version is completely vegan. It also contains healthy fats through the use of oils and flaxseed. It also contains extra protein through the use of our Original Banana shake powder, which gives it an even more intense banana flavor.
For variation you can add nuts to your liking, for example some pecan nuts! And if you like something fresh on the side, you can mix some low fat plantbased yoghurt with another tablespoon Banana shake powder and serve it with the banana bread.
Ingredients:
- 150 g whole wheat or oat flour
- 3 ripe bananas, optional: 1 extra to put on top
- 1 tbsp crushed flaxseed
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil or olive oil
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 scoop Jake Original shake powder Banana
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- optional: 1 tbsp of liquid sweetener
Method of preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Peel the bananas, put them in a bowl and mash them with a fork. If the bananas are not ripe enough you can put them in the oven on 170 degrees for 10 minutes, let them cool down before you use them. Add the oil to the banana mixture and mix it until it is smooth.
- Put the flaxseed in a bowl and pour in a little water so that the flaxseed is submerged. Let this stand for a while so that the flaxseed absorbs the water. This will function in the batter as a binding agent and is an alternative to eggs. If you don’t eat vegan, you can use two eggs instead of the flaxseed.
- Put the whole wheat flour in another bowl and add all the dry ingredients: cinnamon, salt, shake powder and baking powder. Mix gently together with a spoon.
- Now put everything together in the same bowl. At last add the flaxseed, and if desired some liquid sweetener. Now stir or mix everything together gently, and pour the batter into the baking pan.
- Place the baking pan in the oven and bake the banana bread for 45 to 6o minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the baking pan from the oven and carefully remove the banana bread from the pan. Let it cool for a moment and enjoy!
