Vegan Banana Loaf

This “banana loaf” was created because I wanted to experiment with #aquafaba and my new #Smeg stand mixer, and I can confidently say “Yipee” my experiment worked well and I am “chaffed” and watch this space for more #vegan and #eggless recipes using aquafaba.

There are 4 of us in my extended family that eat only eggless cakes – and the rest enjoy cakes with eggs, but they also do enjoy my creations because I am always trying to make them “healthier”, however I don’t always succeed. I only share my “hits” on my site, and hence I am sharing this “banana loaf” recipe.

The loaf came out light, fluffy and moist – and I know this is – by one of the very best cakes that I have baked. I hope you try it out and give me some feed-back

125ml aquafaba (brine from canned chick peas)

150g solid coconut oil

Method

  • Using a stand mixer beat the aquafaba to stiff peaks, and pour into a bowl
