Introduction
Vegan, wheat free, this banana bread is fluffier and not as sweet as most dessert breads. But with all the spices--and the crunchy slices of almond on the top--it's totally delicious.It's also half the calories of a slice of banana bread from Starbucks.

Ingredients
-
6 tbls water
2 tbls ground flax meal
3 medium-sized very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange juice
1/5 cup sugar
1/5 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp clove
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup quick or rolled oats
1/4 cup plus 1/4 cup slivered or chopped raw almonds
Optional: 1/3 cup raisins or chocolate chips (not included in calorie count)
Directions
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.
