Yay! It’s holiday, that means it’s BAKING TIME! Today, there are a guest visiting my family for dinner who loves banana bread very much, so I whipped up this super healthy buckwheat banana bread for her as dessert. And once I finished baking this banana bread, I can’t stop myself from having 3 slices already 😝 And the house just smells so good while I was baking this. And did I mention that it was just so easy to make?
This recipe makes 1 loaf
Ingredients:

1 cup raw activated buckwheat
1/2 tsp vanilla powder from Loving Earth

Pinch of sea salt

2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp grounded flax seeds + 6 Tbsp lukewarm water)
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
3 Tbsp water
3 medium ripe bananas
1 heaped Tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar(optional)
Topping:
1 small banana
Sunflower seeds
Directions:
- Combine 2 Tbsp flax seeds to 6 Tbsp lukewarm water and set aside until it thickens

- In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir well, until no lumps are observed
- Line the bread pan with baking sheets and pour the batter into the bread pan
