Vegan Banana Bread
A delicious egg free banana bread recipe. This is a great way to use up those brown squidgy bananas and create a tasty treat for the family.
Loaf cake with 8 or so slices.
Ingredients
4 large brown bananas (the browner the better)
75 grams oil (coconut or sunflower work well), plus extra for greasing the tin
225 grams plain flour (can use self-raising but just use 2 teaspoons baking powder if so)
50 grams sugar (white or brown)
3 tablespoons of maple or date syrup (optional)
2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
3 teaspoons baking powder
splash of milk (optional, for extra moisture if the batter appears dry)
50 grams walnuts (optional, you can leave these out or pick any other nut or dried fruit that you prefer)
vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Method
Heat oven to 180 celsius.
Mash the bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75 grams of oil and the sugar.
Add 225 grams of plain flour, baking powder and cinnamon and combine well.
Add in walnuts and chocolate chips if using.
Bake in greased loaf tin for 25 minutes.
Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning on top.
Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the skewer comes out clean. Allow time to cool before slicing.
To serve
Delicious served hot or cold, with ice cream or without. This treat stays fresh for five days in a sealed container (if it's not eaten beforehand) and you can always toast to refresh it.
