How to Make Vegan Banana Bread With Almond Milk

When I hear the words “banana bread,” I immediately get taken back to my childhood when I would beg my mom to let me eat banana bread for dinner. Occasionally she would say yes, but most times I wouldn’t be allowed. Now that I’m all grown up, I kind of understand why eating banana bread for dinner was maybe not the brightest idea. I mean this bread is basically butter and sugar so it’s really like cake pretending to be bread.

I thought that adopting a vegan lifestyle meant I would crave kale for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but no, I still want to eat all the carbs and all the sugar. So I had to compromise and that is where this oil free, vegan, and whole foods-based banana bread comes in.

This banana bread is by far the healthiest one you’ll ever make, but is it good? Yes, yes it is. We’ve created this recipe, tested it, and approved it for all to make (and eat). This banana bread is decadent enough to feel like you’re cheating but healthy enough to make you feel good about yourself. It’s rich, warm, indulgent, hearty, sweet, satisfying, and light.
