Hummus Banana Bread

What a fun flair! This recipe was created out of hate of wasting food. My hummus was about to expire, and wanted a creative way to still be able to enjoy it. So here it is, a new a fun, new way of enjoying banana bread. We all went through the phase in 2018 when every recipe out there was a banana bread. Let's bring it back, but better! The hummus creates nutty flavors, and compliments the pecans (or nuts of your preference) so well. I used chocolate for extra deliciousness, but you can easily sub it for a more ''carrot cake'' style by adding 2 shredded carrots and cinnamon instead. This banana bread is versatile, so use your creativity just like I did.

Hummus Banana Bread

If you're new to my page, I am not conventional. Most of my recipes are fusions off the original. Not that classics are anything bad, in fact I love traditional recipes. But this is me, constantly thinking of the next fun flair that can be added to a dish. Today I experimented with hummus as a sweet flavor, which in fact worked so well! Hummus is naturally nutty, because of the tahini and chickpeas. So by adding nuts to the, and sweetening it with coconut sugar and bananas... boom! you've got yourself a new exciting banana bread. This will surprise your guests and elevate your snack time. Also, huge plus is this recipe will prevent sugar crashes. I used only natural sweeteners, so guilt free pleasures are coming your way.

Time: 60 min (15min prep, 45 min baking)

Serving: 12

Ingredients

1 cup (250g) flour (I used a mix of 100g plain, 100g whole wheat, 50g almond flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 stick of butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup coconut sugar
75g hummus
4 ripe bananas
1/4 cup pecans (chopped)
100g 70% chocolate (chopped)
50g dark chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt to top

Instructions

Start off by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and greasing a loaf pan. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, then add baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
If using a stand mixer use the paddle attachment (hand mixer works just as well). Add the room temperature butter and coconut sugar to a large mixing bowl. Cream the butter and sugar for at least 5 to 10 min. This makes the cake taste more buttery and creamy.
Then add the eggs, vanilla essence, and hummus stir till just combined. Next, mash your ripe bananas and fold them into the wet mixture. The riper your bananas, the sweeter your bread will taste.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl, stirring just until incorporated. Make sure to not over mix. The more you work the dough, the tougher the bread gets because the gluten start to develop.
Finally, fold in your chopped pecans, pieces of dark chocolate.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and add sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Eet smakelijk!
