Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Banana Nut Bread
This healthy baked treat uses xylitol, which has 40% fewer calories. Delicious!
- 6 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1 cup XyloSweet xylitol granules
- 3-4 very ripe bananas
- 3 eggs or 3 Tbsp. chia soaked in 9 Tbsp. water for 10 mins or more
- 1/2 cup organic buttermilk or ½ cup organic milk, with ½ tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice added
- 2 cups gluten-free flour (quinoa, buckwheat)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup walnuts, hazelnuts, or pecans, coarsely chopped
-
Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour a 9”x5” pan.
-
In a bowl, mix dry ingredients and set aside. Use an electric mixer to cream butter and xylitol together until light and well combined.
-
Add bananas and lightly beaten eggs (or soaked chia). Mix well. Add buttermilk and mix just until incorporated into the batter.
-
Slowly add dry ingredients to batter, and stir. Do not overmix, as the final batter should still be lumpy.
-
Pour batter into baking dish. Fill pan to 2/3 full (if you have extra, use it to fill muffin tins, which will require less baking time).
-
Bake about 55-60 minutes until bread is a golden brown and has pulled away from the sides of the pan slightly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
-
Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely before slicing.
