Dairy Free Recipe: Banana Bread

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:

  1. Pour into a generously greased and dusted loaf pan – any smallish pan will work.
  2. Bake at 350 for about 50 min – a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean.
  3. Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool.
