Molasses Banana Einkorn Bread
This recipe works without any fancy kitchen tools!
Ingredients
- 1&1/2 cup Einkorn Flour
- 3 small/medium Bananas yellow or ripe
- 1/2 cup Blackstrap Molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 sprouted chia seed egg
- 1/3 cup butter
- a pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°, and grease a small loaf pan (with butter or coconut oil)
- Make your sprouted chia egg: take one teaspoon of sprouted chia and add 2.5 teaspoons of water. Mix and let it sit for 5-10 minutes (it will get firmly gooey like an egg yolk)
- Mash your bananas using a fork. Get them as mashed as you can; there will be some small chunks that won't break down further.
- Add in your einkorn flour and mix as much as you can. The batter will get thick and hard to mix, so stop there.
- Melt your butter in a separate bowl (about 10-15 seconds in the microwave). Add this and the salt to the mixture and stir it in.
- Add in your sprouted chia egg and mix until well incorporated (it won't want to break apart but it will if you keep mixing thanks to the moisture in the mixture)
- Add in your baking soda and blackstrap molasses. Mix until everything is well incorporated. It should feel like a thick cake batter.
- Pour into your prepared loaf pan, and then bake at 350° for 50 minutes. It's going to smell like traditional banana bread for the first forty minutes, and then you'll smell the molasses for the last 10.
- Let it cool for a few minutes in the pan. Can be removed and cut after this point (it may be a little crumbly along the edges when cut).
Notes
Check to make sure that the bread is fully cooked in the middle when you take it out. While this recipe doesn't use a real egg, it does come out as a chewy brownie texture. If it's coming off on your toothpick/butter knife, put it back in the oven for a little longer.
