Banana bread is a classic recipe, and it’s hard to deny how delicious it is. Before going vegan, banana bread was one of Sigourney’s husband’s favourite treats. Knowing how much he loved it, she knew she had to come up with a delicious vegan banana bread that could pass the husband test.
If you want to change up the flavour, you can add a little cocoa powder to the recipe to give it a chocolatey taste, or you could take it a step further and add some dark chocolate chips.
It may take over an hour to make, but trust us when we say it is well worth it.
Whether you’re making vegan banana bread as a light dessert after a meal, or for your daily breakfast (use your favourite nut butter to give it some extra protein, ours is almond butter), this recipe is always a crowd (or in our case husband) pleaser.
