Sweet Savvy #245 - Fruit-Sweetened Banana Bread

 

 

 

 

1 May 2009 Greetings! A reader sent me this recipe and it is extraordinary. There is no sweetener in it at all, only fruit, yet it is it sweet. It is made with whole grain spelt flour, yet it is light. I think I'll be able to come up with many variations on this delicious bread. Try it! NOTE: This recipe contains unbuffered Vitamin C crystals. You can get them at any natural food store. They are pricey (I paid $10 for a bottle), but I believe they are necessary to the lightness. Some other recipes I'm looking at use them as an ingredient. And you can always utilize it as a vitamin. If you want a sweeter bread, you can add 1/4 cup of sweetener of your choice. My husband and I loved it as is. FRUIT-SWEETENED BANANA BREAD makes one 9"x5" loaf 3 cups whole grain spelt flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon unbuffered Vitamin C crystals

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

4 very ripe bananas (about 1 3/4 cup)

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 peeled apple, grated (about 1/3 cup)

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Oil and flour a 9"x5" loaf pan.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, vitamin C crystals, cloves and nuts.

In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, oil, vanilla and grated apple.

Mix together the dry and wet ingredients in the same bowl.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.
