Vegan Banana Bread
A celebration of bananas' taste and aroma: a rich country-style cake, easy and quick to make, with coconut sugar, cane sugar, and coconut milk. Adding raisins and walnuts is welcome but not mandatory. A delicious way to serve this banana bread is to toast a slice and spread it with cashew butter and jam.
