Banana & Blueberry Bread

 

We love this recipe because its high in fibre and so much research is linking the consumption of a high fibre dietary pattern to having a healthier body and reduction in various chronic disease states.⁠⠀

⁠⠀

– 1.5 cups buckwheat flour⁠⠀

– 0.5 cups brown sugar⁠⠀

– 1.5 tsp baking powder⁠⠀

– 2 tsp cinnamon, ground⁠⠀

– bananas (extra one if you want to bake one into the top)⁠⠀

– 1/2 cup of greek yoghurt or plain kefir⁠⠀

– 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil⁠⠀

– 1/3 cup maple syrup

– 2 tsp vanilla extract⁠⠀

– 1 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh)⁠⠀

– 1/4 cup chia seeds⁠⠀

⁠⠀

– Preheat oven to 170C⁠⠀

– Combine dry ingredients, excluding chia seeds, in a bowl and set aside⁠⠀

– Combine all other ingredients, excluding blueberries, in a food processor and blend until smooth⁠⠀

– Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine lightly. ⁠⠀

– Fold through blueberries.⁠⠀

– Pour batter into a prepared loaf tin, top with remaining banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar⁠⠀

– Bake for 1hr – 1hr 15min — it’s cooked when skewer inserts and removes cleanly⁠⠀
