How to Make Low Gi Blueberry Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a medium-sized loaf pan.
  2. Mash 2 ripe bananas in a large bowl. Add 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons honey, 4 tablespoons macadamia oil, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder (optional).
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes.
  6. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, continue baking, covering the loaf with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning. Baking time may vary, up to 65 minutes total.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
