I have always loved baking! Since going vegan, I’ve been experimenting with creating my own recipes. I’ve had a few requests for selling what I bake, but I’m not interested in that at the moment. So instead, I’ve made a second insta to share my recipes. First up, my banana bread!

~ingredients~

•1 1/4 to 1 3/4 cups mashed overripe banana (about 3-4 bananas)

•5 tbsp melted plant butter

•1/2 tsp vanilla extract

•1/2 tsp almond extract

•1 1/2 cups flour

•1/4 cup organic sugar

•1/4 cup brown sugar

•2 tsp baking powder

•1/2 tsp baking soda

•1/8 tsp salt

•1/4 cup oat milk

•1/2 cup walnuts

~directions~

•Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

•In a large bowl, mix banana, butter, vanilla and almond extract.

•Add the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the bowl.

•Mix until it's all just incorporated, don't overmix.

•Mix in milk and walnuts.

•Pour the mixture into a greased 9x5" loaf pan.

•Bake for 45-55 minutes. The banana bread is done when you can insert a toothpick into the middle of the loaf and it comes out clean.

•Let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before cutting.
