Rica's Banana Bread (gluten free)

1 1/2 - 2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/3 cup organic light oil (sunflower, canola...)
2 eggs beaten (or egg replacement)
2 cups buckwheat flour
1 vanilla bean (optional)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or other sweetener)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
sprinkle of ground cloves
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
1/4 cup dried golden raisins, cranberries, or cherries

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix bananas, apple sauce, oils, eggs, and sweetener in a large bowl.  
In a separate bowl, combine other ingredients.  
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and pour batter into a greased loaf pan.  
Bake for 1 hour.
(You can experiment with using different flours and combinations of flours but I love buckwheat!  The color is beautiful and so rich and wholesome.)
