I’m a huge fan of banana bread, in fact, here on the blog there are 3 or 4 recipes of this, different versions, one richer than the other, and that is, every time I’m going to make it I think of a new way, a new version, something new to add or remove, to make it more fluffy or wet, easier to make and faster.
This is the easiest version with the least ingredients of all my banana bread recipes. And if you’re wondering, yes, it’s without flour, how do we get it? Replacing it with soaked buckwheat groats, which after being processed, turn into a moist and soft dough, very similar to what we would get if we mix flour with water. But why do this and not use wheat flour or buckwheat flour directly? Well, as in all cases, the grain has many more nutrients than flour, which was already processed, and whether you want it or not, even if it is a whole flour, you lose some of these nutrients.
Another thing that characterizes this bread is the non-use of oil, instead, I used peanut butter, which provides a rich flavor and that amount of fat/oil necessary so that the bread does not stick and maintain moisture.
In total this recipe only has 6 ingredients, 2 already mentioned, and one is
