Vegan & Gluten-Free Chicory Banana Almond Bread

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UVM chapter.

Fall is the perfect time of year to try out a new quick bread recipe! Quick breads are simple breads without any yeast in them. Instead, they get their rise from baking powder.

I used baking powder and baking soda for this recipe. The baking soda adds a nice brown to the top. I also added Teeccino powder to the batter. Teeccino is a company that makes coffee and tea alternatives out of nuts, chicory, and spices. Besides baking, you can run it through a french press or steep it in water overnight for cold brew. The base of the batter is made with almond flour (GF), but you can substitute oat or whole-wheat if that’s your fancy.
