Low Fat Banana Coffee Bread Can Be Vegan Food

HEALTHY VEGAN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray an 8x4 loaf pan and set aside.
• Drain the dates and place them in a food processor along with the bananas, apple sauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
• In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients. With a wooden spoon, mix the date/banana mixture into the flour mixture until the flour is fully hydrated. Be careful not to overmix. Once your batter is uniform, stir in walnuts.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread even the top.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow loaf 20 minutes to cool in pan before transferring to a cooling rack to cool.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container or freezer.

LOW-FAT BANANA COFFEE BREAD (CAN BE VEGAN)

Steps:

• In a microwave safe bowl microwave the banana pieces at high power for about 2 minutes or until slightly melted and fragrant (this might take more or less time depending on the ripeness of your fruit and your microwave). Mash with a fork and stir in yogurt, coffee granules, hot water, flax seeds, water, black tea (or more water) and vanilla extract. Set aside until cooled slightly, then stir in the egg.
• In a large bowl combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, spice and salt. Add the wet ingredients and stir until combined. The dough should be thick, but not overly so. If it is very thick, add more tea or water until it has the consistency of thick cake batter.
• Scrape into a greased or lined loaf pan (the standard size) and bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean (I had to cover mine after 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning).
• Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Slice and enjoy!
