If you have overripe bananas that need to be eaten as soon as possible, why not make them into tasty banana bread. Plus, this recipe is gluten free and vegan! We’ll replace honey with maple syrup and egg with chia egg.To make one chia egg, all you need is one tablespoon of chia seeds and three spoons of water. Mix them together and wait for a few minutes until it reaches a gelatinous texture. Chia eggs can come in handy to replace regular eggs when baking.
Preheat oven to 180C and grease a 900gr bread tin with butter.
Mix chia seeds with 3 tbsp of water to make chia egg. Set this mixture aside for 10 minutes
Prepare the dry ingredients by sifting buckwheat flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt to a bowl, mix them well
Mash bananas in a separate bowl until pureed, add vanilla and melted coconut oil to the puree. Then, combine this with the dry ingredients. Lastly, add maple syrup, chia egg, and raisins. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the mixture into a bread tin and put it in the oven for 50-60 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your oven. So after 45 minutes, check the dough. Insert a toothpick or a skewer to the dough to check the doneness. If the toothpick is dry, it is done.
Cool completely before serving. This banana bread can last up to 4 days in an airtight container.
