1-Bowl Banana Muffins
My mom used to make her own bread and it was one of the first thing I learnt how to make.
I remember learning of to knead, watching it rise in anticipation and thinking my mom was the most awesome hippie mom ever, with her birkenstocks, chicken for eggs and time for bread making!
Making bread is one of the most rewarding things to make, esspecially with other, the only problem was that making bread Takes forever and never last more than a lunch in my parents house.
Thankfully, I have great news, because you don’t need lots of time for bread. This recipe is simple in both ingredients and preparation and is ready in under 40 minutes (start to finish) because it is literally a mix and bake kind of bread!
This recipe on uses 9 basic ingredients and if you don’t have any of the seeds or oats on hand, just leave them out because their purpose is not for form, flavour and only a small , function. But thanks to the elephant in the room, the breads green completion, yoyu wont niotive the seeds are missing.
So about this green bread! Not to worry, this is natural and exactly how you should expect your loaf to turn out, when its perfect! The green colour comes for a reaction with the sunflower seeds in THE PLANT BASE mix and Bicarbonate of soda. Sunflower seeds contain chlorophyll, also known as chlorogenic acid and when you combine this acid with bicarb and heat it, the seeds become a vibrant green colour.
This colour part and parcel for this delicious 20-minute bake time and only 15 minute perp bread!
This loaf is magnificent and everything you want in a homemade bread. It’s:
Super simple
Nostalgic
Tender on the inside
Crusty on the outside
Seedy
GREEN
& Perfect
