After trial and error I have finally figured out how to make the perfect loaf! In this post you will learn how to make soaked banana bread using buckwheat flour.
Why do you need to soak the flour for 12-24 hours?

Soaking flour is a traditional way of preparing food that has been lost to modern methods. Soaking flour not only makes it taste better, but more importantly soaking makes the grains easier to digest. Today many cultures all around the world still ferment their grains before consuming!

Can I use not so ripe bananas for banana bread?
It is best to use ripe bananas for banana bread, they add the right flavour, texture, and are easier to digest. If all you have are green bananas you put them in the oven still in the peel at 300F on a cookie sheet and cook for 15-20min.

Oooo I need to try this. I also had no idea about that banana trick but then again I usually have the opposite problem where I have bananas that are desperately in need of becoming bread. Lol
