Ingredients:
- 3 pcs. medium-sized ripe bananas;
- 1/3 tsp. pure maple syrup ;
- 1/4 tsp. coconut sugar ;
- 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract or vanilla powder ;
- 1/3 tsp. water;
- 2 1/2 tsp. gluten-free oat flour ;
- 1 tsp baking powder ;
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda ;
- 3/4 tsp. fresh or frozen strawberries, roughly chopped;
- 2 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional).
Method of preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a tray with baking paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the bananas and mash them. Add the maple syrup , coconut sugar , non-alcoholic vanilla extract or vanilla powder, and water to the bananas. Stir until well combined.
Add the gluten-free oat flour , baking powder and baking soda to the wet ingredients and mix until a homogeneous dough is obtained. Carefully fold the roughly chopped strawberries into the batter.
Transfer the dough to the paper-lined loaf pan. Arrange thinly sliced strawberries for garnish (if using). Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool before slicing.
