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 11th of December 2023 This is something I have heard of, but never tried before. Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it. Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it. However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead. Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan: Roll it out Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the
Written by McDonald, T. | Date 27th of November 2023 Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had. The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run. This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.
Written by McDonald, T. | Date 18th of March 2024 You will never believe just how easy this cake bread is. So tasty, so moist and good! The preparation is mega quick because all you have to do is mix it all together and pour the batter in a loaf tin and it is ready to go in the oven. No yeast, so no proofing it is ready so fast and bakes in 45 minutes. The result is a sweet tasting cake that you can cut into slices and eat like bread. Notes Don't beat the batter or it will turn out tough after baking. If you use Green Ginger Wine, be sure it is vegan.
