This no-maida khapli wheat banana bread uses emmer wheat as the base flour. Khapli wheat is an ancient, fibre-rich grain with a weaker gluten structure and low GI, resulting in a soft, dense, and healthier bread compared to one made from refined flour. It is commonly made with jaggery and is free from refined sugar. This banana bread recipe uses Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta with ripe bananas (this is crucial – the blacker the better) to form the base, along with other baking essentials such as butter, curd, baking powder, baking soda, and more. It’s an easy recipe to follow, and the result is a dessert that also doubles as a sweet snack for evening tea.
