Summer is slowly coming to an end. This also means that it is finally plum time again. These are not only a delicious snack if you eat them raw, but can also be wonderfully processed into various desserts. In addition, plums are not only delicious, but also very healthy. They have digestive and anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they are full of vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamins C, E and K. So it is also worthwhile from a health point of view to reach for plums regularly.
For those who might want to try a little more than just yeast cake with plums, I’ve created the following two recipes. They are both completely vegan and gluten-free.

The vegan plum dumplings are super quick and easy to make. A special advantage of this version is also that dates replace industrial sugar, which makes them a much healthier dessert. – It's best to try them out right away!

Vegan Banana Bread with Plums and Walnuts
The other day I felt like baking a fresh banana bread again. Since I still had a lot of plums left over I decided to create a slightly modified version this time. The special advantage of this version is also that in this banana bread vegan protein powder is used instead of sugar as a sweetener.

- 1 pck. Baking Soda
- Cinnamon
- 3.5 oz Buckwheat Flour
- 3.5 oz Oats
- 3.5 oz Almond Flour
- 1.5 oz Protein Powder vegan
- 5.3 oz Plums
- 1.8 oz Walnuts
Here’s how to do it
- Mash the bananas and quarter the plums.
- Mix with remaining ingredients in a large bowl to form a dough.
- Pour the dough into a bread pan.
- Bake in the oven at 392 °F top and bottom heat for about an hour.
- Ready!
