Berry Banana Bread - Vegan

Perfectly ripe bananas call for a perfect banana bread recipe and I like to think this one is just that.

I veganized an old recipe of mine and have to say that I like this version better than the original. 😊

This recipe makes an old-fashioned hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kind of banana bread. The loaf is dense and chewy and bursting with sweet and tart flavors.

It's delicious plain, slathered with vegan butter or a nice spread of vegan cream cheese.

Now, onto the recipe:
