Banana bread is almost always at my home. My older son is often asking when I am going to make it. Once I made it in a rush without even thinking what I am doing and I totally forgot to add oil. I realized when banana bread was already baking. I said to myself oh well, probably it will be a waste of products. I hate throwing out food and I usually don’t do it.

After baking I quickly went to check what is going on with my no oil banana bread and I was surprised nothing major happened. Even the bread didn’t stick to the pan. At this moment I realized that we don’t actually need oil in banana bread. And I already had a new recipe in my mind. After few weeks later I made these Banana Chocolate Spelt Flour Muffins.

Instead of using regular or whole wheat flour I used spelt flour. I use different kinds of flours at my home. And I love to experiment with all of them.  I love to bake with spelt flour. It has more delicate fiber so it is not supposed to be mixed a lot. Just safely combine all ingredients with spatula.

The muffins came out moist and very chocolaty. They were perfect for lunch or snack. I had to bake two batches because everyone liked them.

    I’ve never tried Spelt flour baking! Must try this soon! It’s a good thing I have a few bananas that are fast going past their prime eating time.
