Vegan Banana Bread
This Vegan Banana Bread is flourless, gluten-free, 1 bowl and is so simple, quick and easy to make. Unlike a regular banana bread, this recipe uses creamy vanilla custard for added moisture and flavour and a taste of my childhood in England. The infamous banana custard combo we all loved back in the day!

- Oat flour can be subbed with gluten-free flour, wheat flour and other flours. If using almond flour, use a 50/50 combo with another flour such as coconut flour.
- Other ingredients and flavour combos can be used such as dried fruit, chocolate chips, nuts, coconut etc
- Protein powder can also be added to give a protein boost – though weight added in protein powder should be taken from the weight of either the wholewheat or oat flours (or any other type of flour used)
- Rapeseed oil can be replaced with other oils such as olive oil
