Loafs

Baby Friendly Sugar Free Coconut Banana BreadI made this loaf recently for my baby girl who is 10 months old. It's sugar free, dairy free, gluten free and nutrient dense. It contains eggs for protein which give their bodies essential amino acids that are crucial for their growth and development. It contains coconut for healthy fats and banana and buckwheat flour for some carbohydrates. Buckwheat flour is a great gluten free alternative to regular flour as it's more nutritious and isn't as inflammatory as regular flour. This recipe is a little dense, however I cut it into thinner slices then topped it off with almond butter to give to my baby girl.
Sugar Free Almond Meal Banana BreadBanana bread is always a popular recipe in our home, and this sugar free almond meal banana bread is no different! Since having kids I've been trying to come up with new recipes that are sugar free and only naturally sweetened with wholefoods. Sugar has such a negative impact on our health, espeically our gut microbiome and blood sugar balance. This banana bread is a super easy and quick recipe to make, it's a great recipe to add into kids lunchboxs or enjoy it for yourself as a healthy snack (my recommendation is to top if off with some almond butter or regular butter for extra yumminess).
Double Chocolate Banana BreadI receive so many messages from you guys about how much you're loving my banana bread recipes, so I decided why not make a new one! This one is for all you chocolate lovers out there. This double chocolate banana bread is gluten free, dairy free and of course ridiculously easy to make. It’s the #NBnutrition way! It a delicious snack to enjoy topped with nut butter or tahini smeared on top. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Coconut Banana BreadIf you want to make someone's day, bake them this coconut banana bread! Because let's be honest, who doesn't love banana bread! I love it because it’s so simple to make, it’s yummy on its own or wonderful with all sorts of toppings such as coconut yoghurt, tahini, raw honey or smashed banana. It goes perfectly alongside a cup of herbal tea as a snack or this week I've enjoyed it for breakfast toasted, topped with tahini, coconut yoghurt alongside a protein smoothie.
Paleo Bread LoafI'm excited to share this paleo bread loaf recipe with you because even though it's completely grain and gluten free, it actually tastes really good and toasts really well! It makes for a seriously satisfying breakfast or lunch meal. I love topping it with smashed avocado, poached eggs, a pinch of chilli flakes and sea salt. You can also enjoy it as a snack, toasted and topped with hummus, tomato or cucumber.
Banana Chocolate Chip LoafYou guys love banana bread so much I decided to come up with another easy, delicious and healthy recipe for you to enjoy, so here you have it! In 2016 the most popular recipe on my blog by far was my buckwheat banana bread, so you guys inspired me to create this recipe. This banana choc chip loaf contains spelt flour, which is an ancient grain, with a nutty and sweet flavour. Compared to wheat flour, spelt is richly supplied with nutrients and is higher in protein, minerals, and fiber. Spelt flour does contain gluten however those with gluten sensitivity can sometimes tolerate it. Spelt is a highly water-soluble fiber, so nutrients are easily absorbed by the body making it easier to digest. Hope you guys love this loaf as much as I do!
Buckwheat Banana BreadOkay seriously guys, this buckwheat banana bread is insanely good! Who doesn’t love banana bread! This recipe makes it even easier to love! It’s so simple, incredibly delicious and amazingly healthy! I’ve been enjoying it on its own or topped with raw honey or tahini. It contains real whole food ingredients. It’s perfectly sweet thanks to the natural sweetness of bananas, and the addition of pure maple syrup. It also has a slightly nutty taste from the buckwheat. It’s completely gluten, dairy, nut and refined sugar-free. It’s a great addition to any healthy diet. You can enjoy it for breakfast topped with a thick spread of nut or seed butter, raw honey, homemade jams, or just with butter if you’re that way inclined. It’s also the perfect morning or afternoon snack. Buckwheat is one of my favourite grains. Well, actually it’s not even a grain, it’s a seed! It’s extremely nutritious and is loaded with beneficial vitamins and minerals. Buckwheat is very nourishing to the nervous system, as it contains a range of B vitamin’s which is crucial for nerve function, as well as the amino acid tryptophan, which helps to make serotonin, the FEEL GOOD hormone. Buckwheat has a light nutty flavour, it's high in amino acids, fiber and the essential minerals manganese, magnesium, zinc, and copper. It’s also rich in anti-oxidants and is anti-inflammatory.
Herb Spelt Flour BreadThis is an adapted recipe from one that was given to me and my classmates during one of our cooking weekends while studying. Our teachers assured us there was no other bread recipe that could be easier and tastier to make, and they were absolutely right. It literally takes no time to make and tastes delicious, especially topped with avocado, poached eggs or my favourite coriander pesto. It's the perfect alternative to store-bought bread and you can alter the flours to rye, buckwheat or other whole grains. This recipe uses spelt flour which is an ancient grain, with a nutty and sweet flavour. Compared to wheat flour, spelt is richly supplied with nutrients and is higher in protein, minerals and fiber. Spelt flour does contain gluten however those with gluten sensitivity can usually tolerate it. Spelt is a highly water-soluble fiber, so nutrients are easily absorbed by the body making it easier to digest. This bread has become a staple in my home, I always make a couple loaves, slice them up and then freeze them. This makes sure I always have a healthy nourishing bread option on hand when needed.
