This vegan banana bread ist so much goodness in a loaf! You know, I’ve really got a sweet tooth, but I’m not so much into creamy heavy cakes. Instead I appreciate the fine sweetness and moist texture of a really good banana bread. It’s a real soulfood treat sweetened with banana itself and coconut sugar. By the way: Are you familiar with coconut sugar or do you already use it? I really love coconut sugar as it adds an awesome caramel flavor to the banana bread and contains minerals and vitamins as well. The recipe for this delicious loaf is super easy. Just whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl and fill the quickly made batter into a loaf pan. That’s it! 35 minutes baking time later you can already indulge yourself in this wonderful sweet treat. I bet, you already have most of the ingredients at home. So, don’t wait and enjoy. All the best Lea.
