Vegan Baking

As bananas ripen, their starches convert to fructose which makes them sweeter and more suitable for baking. In fact, whenevery you plan on baking with banana I advise you to always use over-ripe bananas. I usually transfer these over-ripe bananas to a plastic freezer bag and store them in the freezer. When I have enough saved up I use them in things like Banana Bread, Banana Walnut Pancakes and this granola. 

 

As the granola is toasted, the heat brings out the full potential of rich banana enhancing notes from the cashew butter, banana chips and walnuts. I’ve made this granola considerably under-sweet so it can be relied upon for a nourishing breakfast that will deliver sustained energy. If you prefer your granola more on the sweet side, increase the sugar by 2 to 4 Tablespoons.

I have to admit, I used to have a sort of prejudice against raw desserts disbelieving in their potential goodness. Oh was I wrong. This is one of my favorite desserts I have ever made. Ever. The chocolate hazelnut cheesecake is so rich and creamy your friends won't believe that it's vegan.

This loaf is perfect for sandwiches and toasts lovely. It is aromatic and flavoursome thanks to the coating of oil on top. It’s not too heavy but doesn’t have the dry texture of wholemeal breads.
