Here is a great banana bread recipe I discovered that is advertised as both dairy free and can easily be made sugar free.
Dairy Free/Sugar Free Banana Bread
Ingredients:
Combine in a large bowl:
- 2 c whole spelt flour (or whole wheat or barley – or a mix of flours)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
Combine separately:
- 3 lg very ripe bananas (about 1&1/2c) – mashed
- 2 eggs
- *1/2 c brown sugar or sucanat
- 1/2 c milk or substitute
- zest of a lemon or orange (optional)
- 2 tsp vanilla or 1 Tbsp dark rum
Mix wet and dry until just incorporated.
Optional: Fold in approximately:
- 1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/3 – 1/2 c dark chocolate pieces
- 1/2 c chopped dates
* For sugar-free or a lower-sugar banana bread, replace the sugar with 1/3c of unsweetened fruit juice concentrate (apple, orange, white grape), agave syrup, maple syrup or honey.
Directions:
- Pour into a generously greased and dusted loaf pan – any smallish pan will work.
- Bake at 350 for about 50 min – a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean.
- Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool.
