What\u2019s even worse is that they served it with butter and JAM! Plus, we always have brown bananas in our fruit bowl \u2013 mainly because we buy them thinking that the one year old in the house likes them but he really doesn\u2019t. And as food-waste-haters, we had to use them up.<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6750\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread.jpg\" alt=\"vegan banana cake recipe\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always keen to sneak veg in wherever I can and courgette is the perfect vegetable for this, it\u2019s barely noticeable tastewise and adds lovely moisture, especially when finely grated. I\u2019ve also made this as \u2018unsweet\u2019 as possible and by making this yourself you can control how much sugar you put into it. The addition of the dried fruit helps sweeten it naturally.<\/p>\n<p>The buckwheat flour can make it rather \u2018bready\u2019 so if you\u2019re after something which is more cake-like then swapping in plain white flour will do the trick.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6751\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread2.jpg\" alt=\"vegan banana cake recipe\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/VeganBananaBread2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Wet Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>3 large mashed bananas<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup plant-based milk<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup coconut oil, melted<\/li>\n<li>2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd grated courgette<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Dry Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bc cup coconut sugar<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd oats<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li>Pinch sea salt<\/li>\n<li>4 tablespoons chia seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd cups buckwheat flour<\/li>\n<li>1 handful of raisins<\/li>\n<li>2 handfuls of dried cherries (I like the Active Edge ones)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Method<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 180\u2019C.<\/li>\n<li>Line a loaf pan or cake tin with either oil or greaseproof paper.<\/li>\n<li>Squeeze the grated courgette between a couple of sheets of kitchen towel to remove excess liquid.<\/li>\n<li>Add all the wet ingredients together and mix well until as smooth as possible<\/li>\n<li>Add the dry ingredients one by one (sugar \u2013 leave a tablespoon aside to sprinkle on the top, oats, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt and flour) into the wet mixture.

I always check it from about 45 minutes just to see how it\u2019s doing!

If dried fruit isn\u2019t your thing, you can add in chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Pecans and walnuts work really well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I put this together my own vegan banana cake after having a really horrid and dry banana bread at a local caf\u00e9.
