Vegan banana bread is super easy to make. In fact you probably don’t need the added flax seeds or vital wheat gluten because bananas are actually quite binding. That said, both ingredients are not only an added binder but the flax has a nice nuttiness to the bread, while the gluten adds an added “bread-y bite” that I really like. If you don’t have either though, feel free to omit. The bread should still come out fine. Also, if you don’t have white whole wheat flour, feel free to use regular all purpose or even all whole wheat flour. The bread might have a slightly different texture but it’ll still be delicious.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp vegan trans-free margarine
