Vegan and Gluten-Free, Raw and Raw Fusion Versions
Banana Nut Bread is such a comfort food, but these raw and raw fusion versions are actually ultra-healthy and good for you. Walnuts and flaxseeds are loaded with Omega 3’s and digestible proteins; Bananas are powerhouses of fiber and micronutrients, including potassium, Vitamins C and B6, Folate, Magnesium. This is also a low-fat dessert or snack food. You can add some coconut oil to the batter, or spread some on for a mid-morning snack.
Watch the video below where I am making this for eHow.com. If you do not have a dehydrator, you can bake this in a glass or metal brownie pan, but make sure it is well-oiled. Because there are no eggs, flour, yeast or baking powder in this recipe, the batter will not rise and remain rather flat. Keep a close watch as it should be ready in less than an hour at about 325 degrees. Another way you can bake this is to put the pan in a larger pan of water (bain marie) and bake it at the lowest temperature setting on your oven.
