27 May Banana Bread
I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand to make my regular banana bread. I usually use whole wheat pastry flour and swapped in brown rice flour. Brown rice flour is very light and I wasn’t sure if the banana bread would hold up – but it did! I usually use brown rice flour to coat chicken breasts or for thickening sauces. I also replaced some of the maple syrup for date sugar. This swap alone increased the fibre content of the banana bread by 12 grams! This banana bread was a huge hit with the kids and is filled with so many wholesome ingredients.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flours, hemp hearts, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, stirring with a whisk.⠀
- Place maple syrup, date sugar, and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until moist.
- Add 1/4 cup of almond milk or milk of your choice. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
- Spoon batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Top with a sprinkle of oats.
- Bake at 350° for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely and enjoy!
- ***** if you don't have brown rice flour you can swap in whole wheat flour. If you do not have date sugar increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup from 1/4 cup.
