Hey Steemit Friends! If you love banana bread, you’ve got to try my plant based version. The crunchy nutty topping makes it even more delicious!
You’ll love it because:
-it's super moist
-it has a little crunch
-it's full of flavor
-it's vegan
-the topping is incredible!
Ingredients:
1/2 c almond milk or other nut milk
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 flax egg (3 T hot water, 1 T ground flax)
3 medium mashed bananas
3 T coconut oil (melted)
1 1/3 c flour
1/2 c cane sugar (if you like it sweeter, I would do 3/4 c)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 c shredded coconut
1/2 c chopped pecans
Streusel Topping:
3 T butter
3 T brown sugar
3 T flour
3 T pecans
3 T coconut
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit)
Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with coconut oil
Make your flax egg (mix 3 T hot water + 1 T ground flax) and set aside
Make your yogurt replacement (1/2 c almond milk + 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar) and set aside
In a large bowl combine flour, cane sugar, salt, baking soda, coconut, and pecans
In a separate bowl, combine yogurt replacement, flax egg, coconut oil, and bananas
Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix, only stir until barely moistened
Pour into the prepared pan
Mix streusel topping ingredients until well combined and sprinkle over the batter
Bake 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
Let cool to firm up and serve warm! Enjoy this little piece of heaven!!
