But actually!

This ‘tried and true’, classic vegan banana bread is moist, healthy, customizable, and SO DAMN GOOD.

This recipe is free from gluten, eggs, dairy, refined sugar, soy and legumes making an easy go-to recipe when having anyone over.

It’s all about the bananas! The trick is to use very ripe, freckled bananas, because the riper your bananas are, the more flavour it will add to the bread.
