Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • ¾ cup high protein non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ ripe bananas
  • 1 cup butternut squash puree
  • ¾ cup + 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 2 scoops of protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons organic sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more for dusting
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons organic powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • In a small bowl, combine ¾ cup high protein non-dairy milk with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to curdle to make a vegan buttermilk/
  • Mash the 1 cup butternut squash puree and 1 ½ ripe bananas with the back of a fork in a separate medium-sized bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the ¾ cup + 2 teaspoons all purpose flour, 1 cup vital wheat gluten, 2 scoops of protein powder, 2 tablespoons organic sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon baking powder.
  • Then, add in the butternut squash and banana mixture, as well as the vegan buttermilk. Mix to make a thick batter.
  • Spread into a baking loaf pan. I like to like mine with parchment paper. You can sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
  • Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes. Stick a toothpick in and it should come out clean.
  • In a small bowl combine the 3 tablespoons organic powdered sugar with 1 to 2 teaspoons of water. It should be able to drizzle off the spoon.
  • Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes. Then, pour the glaze over top. Spread around with a spoon.
  • Cut into as many pieces as you like and enjoy.
