Banana bread has all the time been my go to for over ripe bananas on the counter. My Mother used to make my Grandma’s recipe for it, which I then veganized and it’s all the time so good! I swap up the add ins, typically I’ll simply make it plain, typically with chocolate chips, typically with nuts or dried fruit like dates.

I take advantage of brown sugar on this as a result of that’s what Grandma used, however I’ve additionally made it with maple sugar and loved that as nicely.

For the milk I used oat milk however you should use any plant primarily based unsweetened milk. For the oil I used avocado, as a result of it has a pleasant buttery taste that works nicely in baked items. However one other impartial oil like grape seed would work as nicely. I added in vegan chocolate chunks, however you should use chocolate chips, or be at liberty to make use of one other add in like chopped nuts or dates like I discussed earlier, these are scrumptious as nicely! The batter was tremendous yummy even earlier than baking! Sure I did strive it, the most effective elements of baking!
