This recipe is the best I have for banana bread. It is low in salt and high in taste! It is very simple to make and easy to eat. I wanted something that was easy, healthy, and tasty so I looked around for the perfect recipe, but I just couldn't find what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, they were all great, but I wanted something vegan and simple so I came up with this. It is firm but not too chewy and just sweet enough. When it comes to banana bread, I like it to be more like bread pudding than bread and that is what this recipe gives. If you like to watch how to make the recipe, a video is provided at the end of the blog. In addition, it is possible to use different fruits and nuts and you can leave out the apple sauce if you are concerned about packaging.
Mashed banana
Mix in the flour and oats
Banana bread with sugar topping instead of banana
Fresh from the oven
Ingredients
4 bananas
2 tbsp of apple sauce (optional)
1 tbsp of golden syrup
1/4 cup of vegan milk
1/4 cup of water
1.5 cup of wholemeal flour
1.5 cup of rolled oats
4 tbsp of pine nuts (optional)
3 tbsp of caster sugar
4 tbsp of cranberries or sultanas (you can add other dried fruit like figs or cherries if you want.)
Apparatus
H6 x W11 x D21cm loaf tin
Large mixing bowl
Wooden spoon
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Method
Mash the bananas in a bowl.
Add all the other wet ingredients and mix.
Add all the dry ingredients and stir until everything is mixed up completely.
Spoon into a loaf pan and bake at 200 C in a preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Once out of the oven, leave to cool on a cooling rack.
Cut a slice off and eat it as it is. It will keep in the fridge for up to 6 days in an air tight container.
For an extra delight, top the dough with some sugar before putting in
the oven or banana for the last 15 minutes of baking time.
Results
Sweet and tasty. I love the way I can throw in any died fruit or just stick to sultanas. It is OK to use nuts or to leave them out. Since coming up with this recipe, I have made it a regular thing to have each week. I find that it makes for a better sweet treat than biscuits and is a lot healthier. I'm very pleased with this.

Written by McDonald, T. | Date 1st of January 2023 Hunter's Chicken is one of those dinners I really used to miss. Thanks to Meatless Farm, This Isn't Bacon and Applewood Cheese, I no longer have to miss out and neither do you. This is so easy to prepare and is ready in about 20 minutes. If you are trying out Veganuary for the first time and are still wondering how you will cope without meat, you really should try this during the new year.
Written by McDonald, T. | Date 6th of January 2023 Vegans never miss out on anything. This is a great meal with its dark, thick, sweet sticky sauce. The flavours are strong and pleasing in the lime and soya sauce. In addition, the chunky vegetables give you something to bite into. The dish has a comforting texture and is great with plain rice. Just imagine taking a bite!
Written by McDonald, T. | Date 6th of February 2023 What better way to start Feburgerary than with a chickpea burger? This is a great burger that is a bit like bubble and squeak if you know what that is. The crispy coating is delicious and has a soft, tasty centre with a spicy edge. This burger is particularly good if you are not into the texture of meat substitutes.
