Ingredients: Dry Ingredients: 1 ½ cups (240g) buckwheat flour ½ cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 - 2 tablespoons ground nutmeg (adjust based on preference) ½ teaspoon salt Wet Ingredients: 3 very ripe bananas (mashed) ⅓ cup avocado oil (or any vegetable oil you prefer) ¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy coconut milk 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Add-Ins: ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, your favorite) Optional Topping: ¼ cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, pistachios, or your favorite) Instructions: Here's a step-by-step guide to baking your delicious vegan and gluten-free buckwheat banana bread: Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easier removal (optional). Step 1: Mash the Bananas In a large bowl, mash the 3 very ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until they become a smooth consistency. Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients To the mashed bananas, add the ⅓ cup avocado oil, ¼ cup non-dairy coconut milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until well combined. Step 3: Fold in Dry Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups buckwheat flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 - 2 tablespoons ground nutmeg (depending on your preference), and ½ teaspoon salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix. You want to just combine everything until there are no streaks of flour remaining. Step 4: Now add 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon baking soda onto the batter. Immediately pour the 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over the baking powder and baking soda mixture. This will cause a bubbling reaction, which is a good thing! It helps activate the leavening and creates a fluffier texture. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Step 4: Add Chopped Nuts Optional Topping: Sprinkle your desired chopped nuts (¼ cup) on top for an extra bit of flavor and texture. Step 5: Bake! Place the loaf pan in your preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. Step 8: Cool and Enjoy! Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and enjoy your delicious vegan and gluten-free buckwheat banana bread!
