Vegan Banana Bread

I’ve had two stormy weeks: the flu and a tooth transplant (yes, I, too, joined the transplant club🤣), a combination of events that pretty much neutralized me. However, a short struggle made it clear to me that sometimes you must stop everything and rest!

This wonderful banana cake has faithfully accompanied me for many years in its non-vegan version.

Veganizing the dish was easy (a piece of cake lol): the banana serves as an excellent binder and eliminates the need for eggs or their substitutes!

And if you wondered why this cake is named “bread,” it is probably thanks to its crispy crust and mild sweetness.

You have to be a banana hater not to love this cake – everyone is crazy about it – children and adults alike.

Adding raisins and nuts (walnuts or pecans) enriches the cake even more, but this vegan banana bread is excellent without any additions. This banana cake keeps well for about a week without changing taste or texture.

Another way to enjoy the cake is to toast a slice and spread cashew butter and jam. Serve the banana bread with a warm drink – and you get a great treat.

Enjoy every bite, and let me know how it turned out 😋❣️

Notes

This banana bread is delicious when toasted! Toast a slice, and spread cashew butter and jam on top.

You can enhance the taste and smell of the bananas by freezing them in advance: Peel bananas put them in a separate plastic bag, and keep them in the freezer until use.
