Banana Bread

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Makes 12 slices

I don’t know about you, but I think banana bread rules. A lot of people take this fruity treat for granted but it is SO easy to make vegan friendly. It’s healthier too because you’re using flax seeds instead of eggs, light soy milk and also Nuttelex instead of butter! Perfect for afternoon or morning tea, take it into the office and surprise your workmates with a tasty vegan surprise.
