INGREDIENTS FOR VEGAN BANANA BREAD

• Dairy-free butter is a necessity for baking this moist flavorful bread.
• Coconut Sugar is for a rich deep sweet taste.
• Organic granulated sugar helps sweeten a huge load such as this one.
• Flaxseed meal – mixed with water is a perfect substitution for 2 eggs.
• Dairy-free milk – for moisture and taste.
• Apple cider vinegar – is perfect to add to the milk to mimic the addition of buttermilk.
• Vanilla Extract – for that extra something special for flavoring.
• Banana – is major in flavor and nutrition.
• Whole wheat flour – ties everything together and is more nutritious than some other flours.
• Baking powder – helps make the whole concoction rise nice and fat.

• Ground nutmeg – adds more seasoning for that perfect treat.
• Cereal – for the streusel makes this extra special and thicker topping.

HOW DO YOU MAKE DAIRY FREE BANANA BREAD?

Lay a piece of parchment paper across the bottom of the pan so that it comes up and over the edge a bit.

Grease this too. It will help you remove the bread.

For the Cake:

• In a large bowl cream the non-dairy butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. It takes about 5 minutes.
• Mix 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. You can also use chia seeds or any of your favorite egg substitutes.
• Mix the apple cider vinegar and the non-dairy milk in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine the substitute eggs and vanilla with the sugar mixture.
• Add the dairy-free milk mixture to the mashed banana. Mix well.
• In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and ground nutmeg.
• To the flour mixture add to the sugar mixture alternately with the banana mixture.
• Don’t overmix.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

For the Topping:

• Combine all of the ingredients and mix well. I use my fingers to crumble the topping over the batter in the pan.
• Bake at 325° for 50 to 60 minutes.
• Let sit for 5 minutes and then remove by grabbing onto the parchment paper and carefully lift.
• Set on a cooling rack, remove the paper right away and let the banana bread cool.

There are only two of us in our household so I do have to freeze half of the cake.

That’s okay! It defrosts perfectly so now there is some for the future. Not too sweet and just right for a snack too.

Life is good.

Notes

You can freeze this bread for future slices. Just pack it in two freezer safe baggies. You can use one bag. It s just my personal preference to use two bags.

It halos fight any ice crystals and you can reuse the outer bag over again.
