Vegan Gluten-free Banana Bread Squares

Hey guys!

Yesterday I looked in my cupboard and realised I had some very overripe bananas that I wouldn't have been able to eat in time... so I decided to make these little treats for my housemates. They were really quick and easy to make - I literally just whipped them up whilst I was cooking some soup.




Here's the recipe I used:

Ingredients:
  • 150g brown rice or buckwheat flour
  • 120ml pure maple syrup or honey (if you use honey they won't be vegan, but I'm not actually a vegan so I'd use either)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp cinnamon 
  • 2 very ripe bananas 
(feel free to double the quantities - this only makes a small loaf as I only had 2 bananas)

Method:

1) Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C
2) Mix the flour, maple syrup, chia seeds and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
3) Mash the bananas and add them to the mixing bowl.
4) Mix everything together to make a sticky mixture.
5) Grease a baking tin with coconut oil and spread the mixture evenly into it.
6) Bake in the oven for about 50 mins.

Once it was baked, I then cut it into small squares, cut these squares in half horizontally and filled the middle with peanut butter and melted dark chocolate - but you can fill it with whatever you want. It's Friday, anything goes!

Enjoy!!
