Why banana bread?
Banana bread has a few big advantages over 'regular' cake.
For example, it contains much less or even no flour, which also results in less
rapid carbohydrates. That means fewer fluctuations in your blood sugar level,
with all the benefits that entails.
The flower is often (partly) replaced by almond flour. This
makes banana bread a suitable snack for people with gluten intolerance. The
almonds also deliver many healthy nutrients, including omega 3 - fats and various
vitamins and minerals.
However, they make the banana bread slightly more caloric.
If you do not eat huge portions, that is not a problem! It is only important
that you integrate the banana bread well into the rest of your daily menu.
Would you rather not have almond flour? Then you can also use spelled flour.
Sugar-free banana
bread
Sugar is not used in many banana bread recipes. (This also
applies to the recipe we give below.) The sweet taste instead comes from the
ripe bananas and the dates.
However, it is important to realize that fruit sugars are
still simply sugars. They are a bit healthier than refined crystalline sugars,
but that is mainly because they combine with more fiber, vitamins and minerals.
The glucose and fructose remains the same. That is certainly no reason to any
fruit to eat because fruit has benefits that outweigh the cons largely.
It means that once again you do not have to take huge
portions of this banana bread (or other sweet snacks). Candy in moderation,
then you is all right!
Banana bread without
sugar recipe
Well, on to the recipe, then! There are countless types of
banana bread on the internet, with all possible variations in the field of
sweeteners, flour and other additives. Below we give you a simple basic recipe
for banana bread without sugar and flour!
You need this:
·
50 grams of dates (pitted)
·
3 bananas (the more mature, the sweeter the
result)
·
3 eggs
·
100 grams of almond flour or spelled flour
·
50 grams oatmeal or finely ground oatmeal
·
1.5 to baking powder

50 grams of unroasted nuts of your choice,

How to Make Banana
Bread
First preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Mix the dates and
bananas in a blender to create a smooth mixture. In another bowl, whisk the
eggs lightly with a pinch of salt, and add the banana puree. Add almond flour
(or spelled flour), oatmeal and baking powder, and finally stir the nuts
through the batter.
Grease a cake tin, pour in the batter and bake the cake in
the oven for about 45 minutes. If the top gets too brown, you can cover the
shape with aluminum foil. The banana bread is ready when a skewer comes out dry
again!
Variations banana
bread
The above banana bread without sugar uses nuts to enrich the
taste. However, these are certainly not the only options for flavoring the
cake. It is certainly advisable to experiment with variations - so you can be
sure that you will not get bored of this delicious snack!
For example, red fruit is a good option, and dried fruit can
also be a suitable addition or how about coconut or pure cocoa nibs? It is also
highly recommended to stir a few spoonfuls of cocoa powder through the batter.
This way you get a delicious chocolate cake that you can enjoy without guilt!
