BUCKWHEAT & BANANA BREAD
I often talk about my love for buckwheat in my nutrition workshops, for many reasons.
Buckwheat is gluten free, has a good protein content and is a great source of trace minerals and b vitamins, making it a wholesome food to include in your diet. A little known fact is that it is not a grain but a fruit. It is also associated with a multitude of health benefits... what's not to love?
This delicious recipe for banana bread includes the goodness of buckwheat and the sweetness of banana and a little raw honey. It is super easy to whip up and is always a crowd pleaser.
