THE BEST VEGAN BANANA BREAD

Ingredients
3 medium overripe bananas
1/3 cup organic granulated sugar
1/3 cup organic brown sugar
1/3 cup canola oil (or your favorite baking oil)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans, vegan chocolate chips, or your favorite banana bread stir-in)
For Topping
1/4 cup organic brown sugar

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350
2. Lightly oil a 9-inch loaf pan and arrange a strip of parchment paper width-wise along the center, with just a bit hanging out over each side.
3. Peel the bananas and place them into a large mixing bowl. Mash them well with a fork or potato masher.
4. Add sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until well-mixed.
5. Add the flour to the bowl, then sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon and salt on top of the flour.
6. Stir everything together just until mixed. Don't overmix. The batter will be thick.
7 Fold in the walnuts.
8. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
9. Sprinkle the top with brown sugar.
10. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
​12. Slice and serve.

What Our Clients Are Saying (See more Reviews & Happy Clients)

"Like you, I loved my dog Olive more than anyone or anything in this world. Olive's health issues began at age two. So when my job required me to travel it was essential I have someone who would take care of Olive with loving responsibility. Shawna was better than I could have imagined! As a healer and pet intuitive, her innate gifts brought calm to Olive and I rested easy knowing Shawna treated Olive as her own. Most of Olive's life she was treated by a holistic veterinarian so Shawna's complementary care was an added bonus. For three months Olive was in severe pain and while she had numerous tests, visits to numerous specialists, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, hydrotherapy she declined rapidly, undiagnosed. Shawna came to our house one Saturday for treatment. It was obvious that both Olive and I were scared, stressed and tired. Shawna offered to take Olive for a week, giving us both a rest from one another, for Olive to be a part of Shawna's pack and receive healing and massage throughout the day. Olive's retreat turned into hospice care. That last week of Olive's life, my precious girl was able to be in the company of other dogs and cats. As heartbreaking as it was to prepare to help Olive to the Rainbow Bridge, the gift Shawna offered us brought peace and confidence that Olive would be sent to a better place. Words will never express the gratitude I have for Shawna's heartfelt sensitive professionalism, a source of stability and support during this transition, a gifted healer. I look forward to having another dog and yes, yes, yes, that dog(s) will see Shawna regularly!"
