That is the proper vegan cake/ loaf to take pleasure in with a cup of tea or espresso and the addition of flowers makes Pinterest-pretty too.

Virtually too fairly to really eat. Virtually!

I needed to create a vegan banana loaf model everybody can benefit from the #powertotheplants-and I’m so proud of the way it turned out. Gentle, scrumptious and ideal with a cup of Earl Gray, and even the children gave it their seal of approval gobbling up two items every!

Nothing makes me happier than when my children take pleasure in my recipes. Particularly once they show profitable after a little bit experimentation and an entire lot of finger crossing!

I typically prefer to soften dairy-free darkish chocolate and drizzle it excessive too and I’ve been recognized to chop some Medjool dates and create a little bit date tower on the aspect as effectively.
