Buckwheat Banana Bread
GLUTEN FREE BANANA BREAD
I think we can all agree when waking up to a freshly baked banana bread and some brewed coffee is possibly the best way to wake up, not only that, but also the smell it creates in your house. I love making banana bread when I have those leftover bananas sitting on the counter that are just looking too black to eat - but with Banana Bread the more bruised the better, as it will gibe you an even sweeter result.
Not only is this Banana Bread vegan, it is also Gluten Free using buckwheat flour! It is such a delicious wholesome recipe, that is super easy to make! I love adding either some frozen/fresh blueberries, walnuts or chocolate chips to my Banana Bread. You can serve simply with some butter and maple, or go a little extra with some almond butter.
