Extremely Yummy Vegan Banana Bread

Vegan_Banana_BreadI truly love making and eating banana bread. I have stopped counting how many times I have been asked for this recipe. This bread is very easy to make and tastes incredible. It is super moist and loaded with flavor. The 1/4 teaspoon of allspice is the icing on the cake and takes this recipe to a whole ‘nother level of goodness. Get ready for multiple bites of pure bliss!

Instructions

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups of flour – I prefer spelt flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil or veggie margarine
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice milk, mixed with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar – soy milk works just as well.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C.
  2. Mash bananas and then set them aside in a bowl.
  3. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and allspice. If you don’t have a sifter at hand, use a whisk to blend the ingredients.
  4. Mix together oil and sugars.
  5. In a cup or small bowl, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the milk and give it a whirl.
  6. Add mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla (I prefer the liquid kind).
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and then mix well. Don’t overmix!
  8. Coat your bread pan with some veggie margarine or non-stick cooking spray.
  9. Pour batter into pan and then bake for about an hour.
  10. To check for doneness, use either a sharp knife or a toothpick. Insert the toothpick in the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or has only a few moist crumbs attached to it, it’s done!
  11. Let the bread cool off before serving it.

Tip: After the bread has cooled off, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Eat within 3 to 5 days!

Tips & Tricks: Help! My bananas aren’t ripe yet!

I like to add bananas not just for flavor, but also as egg replacers. Naturally, they aren’t flavorless and thus, there aren’t always suitable as egg replacers. As many will agree, usually when it comes to baking, the riper the banana the better. Continue reading “Tips & Tricks: Help! My bananas aren’t ripe yet!”

Vegan Zucchini Banana Bread

Vegan Zucchinni Banana BreadOver the last few months, I have become an absolute banana bread aficionado. After baking my first banana bread in September 2014, I was hooked. Not just to banana bread, but also to vegan baking itself. I can still remember clearly how I felt while taking the first bite of my masterpiece. It tasted like home. There is no better way to describe it. In the German language, we don’t have an equivalent word that expresses this sensation so accurately. Continue reading “Vegan Zucchini Banana Bread”
