Finally, a simple, moist, vegan banana bread recipe that’s clean and delicious! Being a vegan
recipe, it’s egg-free and dairy-free but also grain-free, soy-free and nut-free!
Buckwheat, which has no relation to actual wheat, is a not a grain but a fruit-seed. This makes it a great gluten-free option and that’s high in protein and fibre to boot! Buckwheat flour is more dense than wheat flour and has a delicious nutty flavour that works well in banana bread. Give it a shot the next time you have some really ripe bananas that need a home.

Could I leave the sugar out and replace it with an extra banana?
Hey Alandria!
This isn’t something I’ve tried personally but I think it’ll still work if you did that 🙂 worth a shot!
Let me know how it goes.
