I am mad for Banana Bread (see my baking blog, Fayerie Cakes, for the classic 'unhealthy' recipe http://fayeriecakes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/nummy-nana-banana-bread.html).
However, this healthy recipe is really sweet and serves up perfectly with a cuppa of Yorkshire Tea.
I am struck rather speechless by how incredibly yummy and pretty much completely guilt free this Banana Bread is! Find the recipe here: http://www.vogue.co.uk/beauty/2012/05/16/hemsley-hemsley-healthy-banana-bread-recipe
- I went with the option of swapping out the butter for organic coconut oil.
- Instead of using 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, I lowered the glycemic index even further by going half and half with 1tbsp pure maple syrup and 1tbsp Xylitol.
- I didn't have any flaxseed or a pestle and mortar/ food processor handy so I swapped the 25g ground flaxseed for more ground almond and went with chia seeds instead of the whole flax seeds. I also sprinkled these on top. I adore chia seeds.
Serving suggestions
Serve with a cup of tea. I recommend what i fondly refer to as a 'Bucket' of Yorkshire Tea with Almond Milk. I used up a tiny bit of cream from some baking in the picture but greek yogurt is always a must, mashed banana makes a lovely spread, nut spreads are fun and filled with goodness and it tastes amazing on its own too.
The recipe mentions storage - keep it covered int he fridge. Freezing as slices is also suggested so that you can have toasted slices. I think I will have to try this with a little butter or a teaspoon of chocolate pecan spread...
