banana bread

2 cups oat flour (200 g)
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (160 g)
1 cup soy milk (240 ml)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup walnuts, crushed (60 g)
Raspberry Jam
1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen and defrosted (125 g)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp coconut water (or water)

Instructions
If you don’t have any oat flour on hand, just get 7 oz (200 g) of rolled oats and process them into flour with a blender or food processor.
Place the soy milk, pitted dates, bananas and lemon juice in a blender jar and blend until smooth.
In a big bowl, mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Let the batter sit for half an hour so the flour can soak up all the liquid. In the meantime, let’s make the simple raspberry jam! Add the fresh or defrosted raspberries along with the chia seeds and (coconut) water to a bowl and mix with a spoon. Let it rest for 15 minutes or until the batter is done.
Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C) and get out a loaf pan.
Get your banana bread batter and gently fold in the crushed walnuts, then pour the mixture into your prepared loaf pan. Finally, add the raspberry jam and swirl it into the batter so it doesn’t get fully mixed.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into slices and serving. We added some desiccated coconut for a pretty and delicious topping!

Notes
You can replace the dates with applesauce plus some liquid sweetener like maple syrup.
Instead of soy milk, you can use any other plant-based milk like almond or oat.
Oat flour can easily be made at home by blending some rolled oats.
If you don’t have any walnuts, replace them with other nuts or choice or simply omit.
No need to add the raspberry swirl if it’s too fancy, the recipe tastes delicious without it.
Awesome twists and add-ons include cocoa powder, chocolate chips, dried fruit, blueberries, lemon glaze, peanut butter and a shot of espresso.
