So how does it get so green you ask?

The key ingredient in this minimal ingredient loaf is sunflower seed butter, which turns green when baked! The reason for this is because the chlorophyll in the sunflower seeds reacts to the baking soda, so it turns green as it cools.

When it comes out of the oven, it will look dark green on top. When you let it cool completely, it will turn a bit of a brighter green on the inside as well. Be sure to mix the ingredients together thoroughly so that it’s a consistent green color.

This bread is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free and isn’t meant to be overly sweet. Since it’s only sweetened with mashed banana, the sweetness is mild but still so delicious.

The texture of this bread is fluffy and dense at the same time and it’s so yummy it’s honestly addicting!

I love to top mine in different fun ways – mashed raspberries, coconut yogurt + granola, etc.
