Sprouted Spelt Banana Bread
This sprouted spelt banana bread is equally suited for breakfast, snack time, fika, or as a gift to a friend. Nourishing and delicious, it's not as sweet as most banana bread, although the dark chocolate sure gives it a boost! Dairy-free and whole grain; be sure to use dairy free-chocolate if needed.

- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons avocado, canola, or grapeseed oil
- ⅓ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (or dairy milk if not dairy-free)

- ⅓ cup sugar (or use ¼ cup maple syrup and reduce milk to ¼ cup); note, the more ripe the bananas, the more natural sweetness they provide

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups sprouted spelt flour
