Banana Bread (Vegan, Wheat & Gluten Free option)
Hot from the oven! Why yes, that is a Laguiole knife... This is another one of my most popular recipes - I call this Helen's super-duper Banana Bread because it never fails! This is a tea bread i.e. a loaf cake that is designed to be eaten with vegan butter or spread, or your favourite jam. It's not bread in the structest sense of the word, but a slightly less sweet version of a cake, that is very nice for high tea. (Oh, la di dah!) This delicious and versatile loaf is great served warm for breakfast, or with your favourite spread at any time of the day. I recently made a very acceptable wheat & gluten free version of this substituting the wheat flour for gram (chickpea) flour. It's slightly less sweet than the original, but very tasty and gives you a nice consistency and good structural integrity, which is often lacking when baking with other gluten-free flours. gram flour can make the mixture a little too stiff, in which case just add 1-2 tablespoo
