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 to 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
Dough topped with banana
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 of 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. | Updated 5th of August 2021 I have been looking for ways to make bread and this is one of the easiest I could find. No need for kneading makes it so easy all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together and leave it overnight before baking it the next day. This recipe has some extras in so if you want to make it closer to zero waste, just leave out the optionals.

Written by McDonald, T. | Date 10th of September 2021 Last time I tried this burger it was a frozen one. This time i tried the fresh one, but was it worth the price? I must be honest, the only reason I tried it at all is because it was going for less than half price. I resent paying so much for a vegan burger because it makes me feel exploited by some company instead of valued. Anyway, I can add that to the negatives at the end, but know this: it is not all bad. Does it taste like a meat burger? Yes, It tastes like a meat burger. I loved the way it smells when cooking and I liked the way it cooked too. I had it in a bun with some tomato, mustard, BBQ sauce, onion and chilli and I could still taste a really great burger through all that flavour. Obviously, I tried some without the sauce and pickles and it was still great tasting. What is the issue with the burger? The issue is not the burger because the burger is fantastic! No, the issue is the price and the fact it c
Written by McDonald, T. | Updated 2nd of October 2021 Flatbread is easy and quick to make. No need for proving or resting just straight in the pan and out comes a delicious hot bread that you can eat straight away, or store for later. Subsequently, you can have it on its own as a snack or as part of your main meal. You can even make smaller ones to have as tacos. Furthermore, you can add other ingredients to this bread such as garlic or bell pepper or even sun-dried tomato. As for storing, I put mine in an airtight container and keep in the fridge and it lasts for up to 4 days. You have two types to choose from: regular or zero waste. Notes I am using metric cup and spoon sizes. Meaning my cup is 136g of flour. I have found that it is better to weigh out the flour since different people's cups can be very different sizes.; weighing is more accurate. 136 x 1.75 = 238g If you want to make wholemeal flatbreads, you can. Just use 1 cup (136g) self-raising fl
