Raspberry vanilla banana bread

28th August 2018 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

raspberry almond banana bread

The oven is firing up again and I’m too excited for all the recipes I have coming your way! Banana bread is probably my favourite thing to bake, so naturally I’m kicking off baking season with a new variation on this classic cake – raspberry vanilla banana bread. Always simple to prepare, tender and moist without being overly sweet, banana bread is the perfect cake to have with a cup of strong coffee or herbal tea. As we’ve got a few weeks of summer berries left, I’ve thrown in some fresh raspberries and boy does this cake deliver! 

This raspberry vanilla banana bread has a soft crumb and moreish topping of lightly toasted almonds and extra juicy raspberries. I’m already planning to toast my next slice and slather it in almond butter.

If you follow me on Instagram you probably remember the blueberry banana bread I made at the start of the year.  This recipe is similar, but with a few tweaks to make it even more delicious! Still sugar and dairy free and can easily be made gluten free by subbing plain flour for a regular gluten free blend, or tiger nut flour – my fave gluten free flour to bake with.

It comes together in one bowl and contains loads of wholesome ingredients with fresh almonds, two bananas and raspberries in the batter. If you don’t have fresh almonds, you can sub with more flour, but the almonds work really well with the raspberries and make for a lighter crumb.

If you’re new to baking, give this banana bread a go. In my experience they are very hard to get wrong and you don’t have to be too spot on with the measurements which I love. Be sure to use very spotty, ideally black bananas, they make for the best cakes.

I even look for spotty, brown bananas at the market, I think the guys there think I’m mad, but they’re so much sweeter and easier to digest when they’re starting to brown. If a banana is starting to turn, you can peel it and pop it in the freezer ready to use in recipes like this, or store it in the fridge to get a few more days out of it. Waste not, want not, right? I can’t stand food waste so always save my bananas, however ‘past it’ they look.

Talking of which, I’m off to an exciting event this weekend to help discuss ways to reduce food waste. My head is already buzzing with ideas, I can’t wait! Follow along on Instagram to find out more.

Recently I asked if you wanted more baked or no bake recipes and baked won, so I’ll be working hard on some more recipes for Autumn. Let me know if you have any special requests!

I hope you enjoy this bread, friends! If you make it please feel free to leave me a comment below, or take a snap and tag me @bos.kitchen on Instagram! I love seeing your recreations and would love to share them on my feed.

Happy baking!

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm a vegan recipe developer from the UK with a passion for healthy, delicious food. Read More…

Easy buckwheat granola 🥣✨super crunchy, ready Easy buckwheat granola 🥣✨super crunchy, ready in 30 mins and totally flexible to whatever you have in your pantry! Have you ever made your own granola before?🤔I’ll never buy it again as it’s soooo easy to make at home and way cheaper and healthier than the shop bought stuff. Buckwheat is having a bit of a revival in my kitchen atm so I had to use it in this recipe, I love the texture and it’s totally gluten free👌This granola is naturally sweet but low in sugar thanks to a little maple syrup and a ripe mashed banana. Delicious with your fave dairy free milk (I used @dugdrinks 🥔 milk), yoghurt, on top of chia pudding or just as a healthy snack! I don’t think I’ve ever made granola and not be able to start snacking on it as soon as it’s out the oven 🤭 gotta be done. 

 Easy buckwheat granola 

- 2 cups rolled gluten free oats (can sub regular oats)
- 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped (can sub pecans or walnuts)
- 1 cup raw buckwheat (or sub more nuts)
- 1 very ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup maple or agave syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 150•c and line a cookie sheet with baking paper. Mix oats, almonds and buckwheat together in a bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the mashed banana, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is thoroughly coated. Flatten on to prepared cookie sheet in one even layer and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Allow the granola to cool throughly, it will get crunchier as it cools down. Break into chunky pieces and store in a jar for a month.
