Every Sunday when I go to my local super market, they have packs of 6-7 very ripe bananas for $.59…and well, I love me some bananas and a bargain! LOL I always buy two packs, because the bananas are great to freeze for nay-nay ice cream and smoothies, and are great to bake with, which leads me to this post! I had some bananas that I didn’t freeze on Sunday, so by Wednesday they were reeeeally ripe, too ripe to freeze and use later; they had to be used right then and there.
I used ingredients that I had on hand and that would only take me minutes to whip up. Lo and behold, a beautiful loaf of sweet bread emerged! This bread is high in fiber and protein, as well gluten-, grain-, dairy-, nut-, soy-, refined sugar-, oil and egg-free! Needless to say, it is an allergen-free (but not taste-free!) sweet loaf!

1 cup quinoa flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill brand)

DIRECTIONS
-

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mash bananas with chickpeas.

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl (do I really need to say that? I know you are all a bunch of smarty-pants, and are not going to mix all the ingredients on your kitchen counter! LOL)

-
- Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, and for extra caution, spray with cooking spray. Pour your banana batter into the pan, add toppings if so desired. I sliced another banana and used that as the topping.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, until knife inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to completely cool before slicing and eating.
Wondering how tasty this bread is? Before I had a chance to take pictures of the cut loaf, my Mom and brother had eaten the whole thing! I had to make another loaf and hide it just so I could photograph it for you! 🙂
Try it yourself and let me know how it turns out.
