"I had some buckwheat that I needed to use up, and an orange that nobody seemed to want, so both went into the creation of this quickbread. It turned out so moist and it smells heavenly. I believe it is the best banana bread I have ever made. I used sugar substitute to keep the sugar content low, but you could use sugar or brown sugar instead. The flours are whole grain, and no eggs or milk are used so this makes a healthy vegan breakfast loaf or midday snack. Your non-vegan friends will never know!"
