Ingredients and method to make the banana oat wheat bread
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1 cup oat flour ( I processed rolled oats in my spice grinder to obtain oat flour) (you can use store bought flour too)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cardamom seed powder
2 large ripe bananas
1/3 cup milk
12 large soft seedless dates
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp smart balance light (or butter) or any other vegan butter substitute
1/4 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350 deg F
Mix whole wheat flour, oat flour, salt, cardamom powder and baking soda in a large bowl and keep aside.
Blend the seedless dates, milk and bananas in a blender until smooth. Add the milk+bananas+dates mixture to the flour mixture and mix well.
Add sugar, applesauce and smart balance (melted or melted butter ) to this mixture and mix well. Finally add raisins and mix well and keep aside
Grease a bread baking dish with a drop of oil or little butter, add the batter to this and bake between 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven, cool thoroughly and slice into desired thickness and enjoy. :-)
Notes
Baking times vary depending on the size and material of the dish you use so do keep that in mind and adjust times accordingly. ( I used a glass bread loaf size dish)
