The Secret Ingredients

1. Oats – Providing chewiness and making it gluten-free.
2. Ripe Bananas – The star of the show!
3. Dates – A wonderful whole food sweetener.
4. Soy Milk & Lemon Juice – A quick and healthy vegan buttermilk substitute.
5. Cinnamon – Adding that divine, homey baking smell.
6. Crushed Walnuts – Irresistible nutty goodness.
7. Raspberry Jam Swirl – A delightful twist made of raspberries, chia seeds, and water.

The use of bananas in baking replaces sugar, butter, and eggs while ensuring a gooey and moist texture. As for kitchen equipment, you’ll need a loaf pan, blender, large mixing bowl, small mixing bowl, and measuring equipment.

Baking Your Perfect Banana Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C) and prepare a loaf pan.
2. If you don’t have oat flour, process oats into flour.
3. Create the raspberry chia jam by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl. Smash and mix well before setting it aside.
4. Blend the wet ingredients for the banana bread until smooth.
5. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add the wet mixture from the blender, stirring until you have a homogenous batter.
6. Gently fold in the crushed walnuts.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8. Create raspberry swirls using the jam throughout the banana bread with a fork. Avoid overmixing! You can add sliced bananas on top if desired.
9. Bake for 60 minutes or until the bread is cooked through and firm on the outside.
10. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes before slicing, ensuring perfectly cooked slices!

Storage and Serving

This sugar-free banana bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or bag at room temperature. It stays fresh for around 4 days and even longer in the fridge.

Enjoy it on its own or get creative by adding almond butter, date caramel, vegan yogurt, sweet spread, or vegan butter. Pair it with a cup of coffee for an extra treat!
