Ingredients

2 large bananas very ripe, approx 265 grams mashed
2 cup buckwheat flour
½ cup vanilla protein powder
½ cup monk fruit sweetener
1 cup soy milk
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease a banana bread tin and line it with baking paper.
Pour the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk and mix. Set aside for at least 10 minutes. This is your vegan buttermilk.
In a large bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, protein powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk the dry ingredients until they are well combined.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas using a fork or a potato masher. Add the vegan buttermilk and the coconut oil to the mashed bananas. Mix until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the mixture until it is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense and heavy banana bread.
If desired, fold in the nuts of your choice or dark chocolate chips to add extra texture and flavor to the bread.
Pour the banana bread mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes. After 45 minutes, check the bread by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes until it is fully cooked.
At the 30-minute mark, you may need to cover the banana bread with foil to prevent the top from burning while the center continues to cook.
Once the bread is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tin for at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the banana bread has cooled, you can slice it and serve. It can be enjoyed on its own or spread with your favorite nut butter or jam.
