what do you do with over ripe bananas?

you make banana bread of course...and your almost father-in-law eats an entire loaf...ha! i'm serious! but don't tell him it's vegan...

vegan banana bread
preheat oven to 350 degrees celsius

6 bananas
1/2 cup of agave
1 tsp vanilla powder (you can use extract)
1/4 cup of coconut oil melted (i placed the coconut oil in a glass and put it inside a bowl of very hot tap water)
2 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt

in a bowl mash bananas, add agave, vanilla powder or extract, mix well...add coconut oil and whisk for a minute...in a separate bowl add flour, baking powder,baking soda and salt...mix well...add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mix well...add to greased baking pan/pans...

so i made two banana loaves...once i poured half of the batter into one baking pan...i added 1/2 a cup of vegan chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut (you can use sweetened or non vegan chocolate chips)...i poured the mixture into the baking pan and sprinkled some shredded coconut on top...you don't have to do this if you don't want to...

i baked for 75 minutes. it's ready when you insert a toothpick and it comes out nice and clean and it's a nice golden brown colour...











it's a very moist treat...and yummy...i love coconut oil...it's pretty amazing...it's extremely versatile and so so wholesome...

both of my loves enjoyed the banana bread (jackson was only allowed to eat the very plain option)...i've added a few pics of my two snugglebums....







i love it when he (jackson) does that thing with his lower lip...love him...both of them...

stay tuned for a very high raw vegan rocky road chocolate bar...

have a beautiful monday...(as beautiful as it can be)...
