This is the best gluten free banana bread recipe you will ever make. It’s only made with healthy ingredients, non dairy and made with Reyhani basmati rice. Topped is this goodness with a yummy peanut butter chocolate swirl. You can make it in your blender and it’s ready for the oven in about 10 minutes.

You already know that Antonia and I like to support local businesses and farmers. And we proudly support Reyhani! Reyhani is a small family business in our hometown Graz and the people there love what they do! Their passion is rice. But its not an ordinary rice! The people at Reyhani focus on organic and fair-trade certified rice which means that their rice is free of harmful substances and pollution and that the people working on the rice fields get the chance to work under positive and humanely conditions and get fairly payed for what they do.

Organic. Fair Trade. Environment friendly.

Reyhani focuses to obtain rice from the best growing areas around the world, where the environment is perfect and non polluted and no conventional harvested rice crops are adjoined.

Did you know that their basmati rice gets the nutty unique flavour because the best growing area for basmati rice is on the Himalaya? I love that Reyhani shows so much passion and love for their products and the people working on these rice fields for them. The wrapping is made of paper and therefore environment friendly. That is what we love about a business. They think about the future and how they can contribute to make this world a better place.

Banana rice Bread.

I know it sounds a little bit crazy but this banana bread is awesome and if you wouldn’t know what ingredients I used you would never guess that it’s gluten free and made with rice.

This recipe was developed after Reyhani wrote us their first email. I loved the idea to invent something with rice. But I knew from the beginning that I didn’t want to do some ordinary bowl which is so popular at the moment. Anybody can do a rice bowl but only experimentalists can set the kitchen on fire and develop awesomeness from scratch 😉 .

Easy and fast that’s the way we do gluten free banana bread.

I’m totally in love with recipes made in a blender and you are lucky this IS one for the blender.

Before I start with the recipe I give my cashews(70g) and 6 dates a hot bath for about 10 minutes.

ThenI blend my beautiful delicious basmati rice(120g) until very fine almost like flour. The finer the better.

After blending the rice I add the :

• soaked cashews and dates
• 2 eggs at room temperature
• 120g coconut yoghurt or any other yoghurt
• ground almond meal (70g)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 very ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch of salt

Blend on high for about 5-7 minutes or until its a very homogenous batter. I add the 2 teaspoons of baking powder and blend for another 10-20 seconds.

Peanut butter chocolate swirl.

For the swirl:

• pour 1/3 of the basmati rice batter in a small bowl and stir it together with 2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 50ml almond milk.

Make me ready for the oven.

Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius and prepare a loaf pan with coconut oil and sprinkle it with almond meal. Alternately pour the light batter and chocolate batter into the loaf pan and swirl the batter with a wooden stick or a small thin knife.

Decorate the banana rice bread with 1 banana as you like and sprinkle the top with coconut sugar. Bake this delicious goodness for about 45 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick comes out clean.

After the gluten free banana bread is almost cooled drizzle it with some honey, lean back and enjoy it with your loved ones!

This is one of my families favourite recipes at the moment and I know that you will love it as much as they do!

I’m sure you want to know the ultimate tip for a brioche burger bun!

If you have ever baked a brioche bread you know that at some point you have to add butter. Most of the times the butter will be added after all ingredients are mixed together and a dough is already formed. And that is were these recipes are wrong and thus not foolproof.

It is very important that we add the very cold butter at the beginning to the flour. Then with a pastry cutter we work the butter under the flour until pea size dough pieces form. Thats the whole secret to a great fluffy brioche

So how did I came across the turmeric ?

First of all I love the intense yellow colour and second I add turmeric to almost every savoury dish because I like the peppery taste and third it has anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

So here we are and these are the reasons why I put turmeric into those buns. Ok it mostly was because of the intense colouring . And the colour of these brioche burger buns pairs exquisitely with my vegan red beets burger patties. Yes I know, I know a brioche is not vegan but they taste so good.

Of course this brioche burger bun can also be altered into hundreds of other ideas and recipes. Therefore I would say it’s definitely a keeper.

The beginning of our brioche burger buns!

First we mix the sugar ant the yeast into the lukewarm water. With lukewarm I mean body temperature, that’s about 36C° or 97F°, and cover it with plastic wrapl and leave it until you can see foam and bubbles onto the surface. That means the yeast is activated.

In the meantime we cut the very cold butter with a pastry cutter under the flour and the salt. It should completely be incorporated into the flour.

After the yeast is activated add the egg and mix well. Add the yeast-egg mixture to the flour and start kneading. I always knead my doughs with my kitchen aid but of course you can need it with your hands if you feel angry and let loose some angry emotions .

Knead the dough until it loosens from the sides and isn’t sticky to the surface anymore. If you feel like your dough is extremely sticky or wet add some additional flour but be sure not to use too much.

After the dough isn’t sticky to the surface anymore, put it into an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a moist kitchen towel and let it rise at a warm and dry place for about 1-2 hours. The rising depends on how warm the place is where you put the dough. The dough needs to be doubled in size than it is ready for the next step.

I always leave my doughs for rising in my oven which I previously heated to about 40° or 104 F°. But be sure to turn the oven off before putting your bowl with dough in it. We just want it warm and cozy. As I said before the dough is ready when it is doubled in size.

After the dough is risen put the dough onto a floured surface and preheat the oven to 180C° or 350F°.

Since I like every bun to weigh the same, I measure all my dough balls to the exact same weight. My rule is big buns weigh about 120g and smaller buns weigh about 90g.

Form your dough pieces into even round buns and put them onto a baking pan with baking sheet. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap and leave them for another 30 to 40 minutes to rise.

Before our buns go into the oven, we brush them with egg wash and sprinkle them with your desired topping. I sprinkled my turmeric brioche burger buns with black and white chia seeds :-).

Depending on there size, bake the buns for 15-25 minutes or until the top is a darker golden brown and the whole house smells like freshly baked bread.

Ok my friends, it’s late and I’m extremely tired. Hope you love these buns as much as I do. If so leave me some kind words or if there is any confusion or misunderstanding then please leave me a comment too. I will answer them all .

Love Nina

Hello world! Thank you for visiting Antonia and me on our Blog. We hope you will enjoy our first post and all future posts we will share with you. If you like what we do, leave us some kind words in the comments .

Who wasn’t already on at least one diet? Ok, I see. Almost everyone, me included has been on a diet so far. You know in my 38 years I tried many different diets and some were really boring and sometimes extraordinary awful . So about 2 years ago I started to change my habits about food. I was fed up with being on a constant diet and I hated to always forgo dishes I really loved. I’m not on a diet any longer but instead on a journey on finding my own healthy lifestyle for me and my family and this healthy banana bread fits perfectly into it .

So this delicious healthy banana bread is one of my go to recipes when we need something sweet but don’t want to feel guilty with every bite we take.

I’m always searching for a good recipe which really tastes great and not bland. On my weekends you will most definitely find me in my kitchen trying to develop new recipes and yes sometimes my kitchen resembles a battlefield .

This healthy Banana Bread is ready for baking in only 10 minutes and its a one bowl thing. Yes, that’s my kind of recipe . Its the perfect sunday afternoon treat.

So let’s get started. First we need those reeealy ripe bananas, yes the almost dead ones, yes they are black too. But not all bananas just 3. We need the last one for decorating. Mash the 3 bananas with 2 tablespoons of hot water. This way its much easier. After that we put the mashed bananas and all the other ingredients, except the optional ones, into a bowl and give them a good mix. About 2-3 minutes. Instead of mixing them in your Kitchen Aid you could blend everything in a blender. If you think its a little bit to try just add some milk or water.

After everything is combined, there comes the glorious moment where we can add all the optional things to the batter like walnuts, chopped 85%dark chocolate, goji berries or chia seeds or whatever else you like. But keep in mind that it should still be healthy so please no white chocolate drops or m&ms .

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and and put some extra coconut sugar and cinnamon on top. Please don’t go overboard with the sugar just because its a natural sweetener. 1 tablespoon coconut sugar and one teaspoon cinnamon will do the job just fine <3

Put the pan into the preheated oven at 350F° or 170C° and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. During the baking we can prepare the honey cream cheese glaze. Mix together 1/3 cup cream cheese, 2 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt and set aside. When the loaf is ready let it cool at room temperature for about 50 minutes. After that transfer the banana bread onto a plate and drizzle it with the glaze.

Have I already told you that I love this recipe? Yes?!? Ok but did you know that this recipe is not only full with good fibres, no the added greek yoghurt enhances the bread with natural proteins too. That means if you are into sports with weights like maybe crossfit this would be good for you too.

Enjoy the banana bread and let me know how you liked it! Tag us with one of our recipes on social media @twosisterslivinglife and get a feature in our story as a thank you!
