    Dessert » Banana Bread |fluffy, light & delicious

    Banana Bread |fluffy, light & delicious

    Jump to recipe Print Recipe

    When I had just started to be interested in Instagram and I was taking my first steps in the world of foodbloggers, I remember that I kept seeing photos of banana bread all over the Internet. One day I decided to make it and realized that the famous banana bread is nothing but a delicious banana cake (the reason why it's called "bananabread" is beyond me xD).

    If you haven’t tried it yet, you should definitely do it because it’s absolutely delicious. Believe me when I tell you that there's nothing better than starting the day with a slice of banana bread covered with peanut butter --> #foodporn.

    With my recipe you will get a very soft cake that tastes like banana and caramel (my mouth is literally watering while I wright this!).  So now go and get the ingredients! The recipe is waiting for you!

      For the cashews, does "crushed" mean "chopped"? Or does it mean "ground"?

      Hi. Is apple vinegar the same thing as apple cider vinegar?
      And, can I use soy milk or almond milk for the "plant based milk"?
      Thank you

          Actually, the result completely exceeded my expectations about the recipe and about vegan baking entirely! It's my first time baking vegan. I'm not vegan. I had a bias that vegan baked goods can ever taste good or retain any ounce of moisture. I do have questions though:

          1. What is the function of the apple cider vinegar?
          2. What is the rationale behind the 2 different degrees of oven heat?

          Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

      180 degrees? Fahrenheit? That's not a lot

          Oof I’m over here putting it in at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, wondering why it looks the way it does 🤧
