Refined sugar-free
It’s here! The most delicious, naturally sweetened, moist, fluffy, drool-worthy banana bread. The added crumble layer gives the bread a more sophisticated feel and adds a touch more sweetness.
You can store the bread in the fridge for four days, or you can freeze it for up to a month. However, it usually disappears within days of being made.
Dry ingredients:
2 cups oat flour
3/4 cup gluten-free flour blend – I use my own blend
1/4 cup teff flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
*homemade flour blend- 2 cups chickpea flour, 1 cup amaranth flour, 1 cup buckwheat flour and 1 cup tapioca starch*
*If you cant find Teff flour, you can substitute it with almond flour or any gluten-free flour*
