Einkorn Banana Bread

Pack more minerals and protein into your banana bread by using einkorn flour. Einkorn flour is just as versatile as regular all-purpose flour, and it can be substituted cup-for-cup. You will be amazed with the flavor.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step: 2

Stir melted butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract and mix well.

Step: 3

Combine sifted einkorn flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the butter mixture until smooth. Fold walnuts and mashed bananas into the batter until well mixed. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 195 degrees F (90 degrees C), about 55 minutes. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.

The quality of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different brands do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.

To made this in a breadmaker , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be done in the fridge 24 hours . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can start it night before , then finish it off the next day.
