Enjoy in slice, or two without remorse as a snack, for breakfast or even for dessert. Except for your own needs, you can bake banana bread as a gift to a loved one. Especially when you can’t come “empty-handed” and you don’t know what to bring to someone.

This vegan banana bread is a healthier version of the classic, made from vegan ((whole-some) ingredients and spelt flour, date sweetened, with a hint of cinnamon, and you would never notice it. There is nothing as tempting as a warm slice of vegan banana bread. It will evoke your childhood memories and create new happy memories.

It is a crucial that the bananas are ripe. The bark should be from very freckled to even black. Ripe bananas are crucial because they are very sweet, it means that the starches have turned into sugar. It is easier to mash them and incorporate into the dough, and have a deeper banana flavor, which means your banana bread will be more aromatic. Banana not only acts as a sweetener, but also as a moisturizer and volume booster for this bread.

How To Store This Vegan Banana Bread?

Vegan Banana Bread can be stored (coated with plastic wrap) at room temperature up to 5 days. If your kitchen is warm, I recommend keeping the bread in the refrigerator. Stored in refrigerator it can last up to one week. This loaf freezes well. Store in a airtight freezer-safe storage container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
