Banana Bread - Cake

I don't know whether to call this a bread or a cake, but it's delicious!  Perhaps if we bake it in a cake pan and add some frosting...we could call it a cake!   


INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups of Organic Einkorn Flour 

(Note: Einkorn is the purest and most ancient form of wheat available. It only has 2 sets of chromosomes and naturally contains a very different composition of gluten that is easier to digest for many who have non-genetic gluten intolerance.)

1 teaspoon of Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon of Natural Salt

5 tablespoons of Pasture Butter (you can also use Coconut Oil)

2-3 ripe Bananas

1/2 cup of Organic Raw Honey or Raw Sugar

3 large Eggs

1 teaspoon of Organic Almond or Vanilla Extract


INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat over to 350 degrees

Sift together Flour, Baking Soda and Salt

In separate bowl mix together sugar, eggs, melted butter and extract

Slowly blend all ingredients adding flour mixture a little at a time

Pour into buttered loaf pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes.  Try to avoid over baking.  I always set my timer for approximately 3/4 of the recommended baking time and check it with a tooth pick.

Remove bread from loaf pan and let cool approximately 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

ENJOY,
