Vegan Banana Bread (with coconut flour)
I love bananas. So much I always end up with 2 or 3 that get too ripped and that’s when I know it is banana bread time. I love to play around with banana bread and twist recipes, play with ratios – which my roomate absolutely hates. In this vegan banana bread I decided to add some coconut flour, to give a slightly different taste than your usual banana bread. This is much more than a plain vegan banana bread. This is a vegan banana bread 2.0.
Can I substitue coconut flour for another type of flour ?
Of course. Almond flour would do wonders! As it has a weaker taste than coconut flour you could put 2/3 cup of almond flour and 1 + 1/3 cup flour.
Can I just use regular flour only ?
Yes! I think adding almond or coconut flour improves the recipe a bit, but if you prefer a more classical version of banana bread, feel free to use regular flour only.
What do I need?
For this recipe the main ingredients are:
bananas
flour
sugar (white + coconut)
vegan butter
chia eggs
