Ingredients
6 tbls water2 tbls ground flax meal3 medium-sized very ripe bananas, mashed1/2 cup applesauce1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract1/4 cup orange juice1/5 cup sugar1/5 cup brown sugar1 tsp cinnamon1 tsp allspice1/4 tsp clove1/2 tsp salt1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp baking powder1 1/2 cups spelt flour1/2 cup quick or rolled oats1/4 cup plus 1/4 cup slivered or chopped raw almondsOptional: 1/3 cup raisins or chocolate chips (not included in calorie count)
Preheat oven to 350.
Lightly spray a bread pan with olive oil, then dust with cinnamon (I think this tastes better than dusting with flour).
Combine the flax and water in a very small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Mixture will turn sticky and goopy--this is our egg replacer! Set aside and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mash up the bananas, and mix in applesauce, vanilla, and oj. Stir in flax mixture as well, once cooled down.
In a separate big bowl, mix together the spices, salt, and baking powders. Mix in the flour, oats, and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix all together.
Pour batter into bread pan and top with remaining almonds.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
