Baking for vegans is challenging as recipes must have no butter and no eggs – two baking staples. Try out this banana bread recipe, which uses vegan-friendly substitutes.
Ingredients
- 250g wholegrain flour
- 200g brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder

- 1 serving of flax meal (1 tbsp flax meal and 3 tbsp water)
Method
- Mix in a bowl, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar set aside.
