Introduction
This banana bread is more like a fruit brack than a cake – it’s light and sweet, and fairly simple to make. For best results, bake it in a shallow pie dish or brownie tray so that it cooks through fully, rather than a loaf tin. It’s a lovely healthy snack that goes great with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients
| 3 | large greenish bananas (preferably not ripe, as you want them to be low-FODMAP) |
|---|---|
| 90ml | rice milk or almond milk |
| 160ml | maple syrup |
| 2 tbsp | molasses |
| 240g | buckwheat flour or gluten-free flour |
| ½ tbsp | baking powder |
| ¾ tsp | bicarbonate of soda |
| 1 tsp | ground cinnamon |
| ¼ tsp | grated nutmeg |
| ½ tsp | salt |
| 50g | raisins, soaked for 5 minutes in water (optional, for a juicier bite) |
| 20g | pumpkin seeds |
Essential kit
You will need: a flat pie dish/brownie type tray (28cm x 18cm x 4cm).
Method
Preheat the oven to 150°C fan/170°C
Mash the bananas really well. Put them into a food processor with the rest of the ingredients (apart from the raisins and pumpkin seeds), and blend until everything is well mixed (if you don’t have a food processor, mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients separately and then combine them.) Drain the raisins, then put them into a large bowl with the banana mixture and mix well.
Line a flat pie dish/brownie type tray (28cm x 18cm x 4cm) with baking parchment. Pour in the mixture and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and carefully take the banana bread out of the tin. Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
