Vegan Banana Bread Recipe from Fämily Foods®
Since the beginning of quarantine, it seems like everyone has made some type of banana bread! Cardamom banana bread, chocolate chip banana bread, walnut banana bread, the recipe list goes on and on!
But there is a reason why everyone is baking banana bread!
It’s delicious, easy to make, most people have the ingredients laying around the house, and it’s a great thing to do with ripe, overripe, or spotty bananas.
Bananas were first discovered in South East Asia and made their way to Europe.
Once refrigerators were invented, bananas could make the trek across the Atlantic without becoming overripe and rotten.
There are over 1,000 types of bananas, the most popular in the West being the Cavendish banana variety.
Actual baking of banana bread began during the Great Depression.
Baking soda and chemical leaveners were introduced to the market and no one could afford to throw away any food, even ripe, spotty or rotten bananas. So, combine a leavener, a fat, a sweetener, some type of flour, bananas and a star is born!
There are so many different ways to make banana bread, but this recipe is by far our favorite, as it is vegan and it’s made with our favorite Fämily Foods® Pancake & Baking Mix as the flour component!
