A classic recipe that combines ripe bananas with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter to create a deliciously moist bread.
Sure! Here’s a simple vegan banana bread recipe:
Ingredients:
– 4 ripe bananas
– 1/2 cup of plant-based milk (such as almond milk or soy milk)
– Melted coconut oil or vegetable oil, 1/3 cup
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup of coconut sugar or other sweetener of your…
thinking about @plant-taxonomy-showdown's angiosperm cake poll and im contemplating how possible it is to bake a cake using ~~only~~ ingredients obtained from monocots (OR eudicots, but i've got that one figured out i think). i'm currently stumped by how you get air into that sucker without chemical leavening agents (aquafaba comes from eudicots so that's out).
so the solution would be like
bake something that's supposed to be dense, like ginger cake or banana bread. but the thought of making any of these without cinnamon is making me sad
stretch the definition of cake. maybe a pie is possible…?
reaaaaaaaaaaally stretch the definition of monocot-derived ingredient. like. what if i make ginger beer and use its CO2. that definitely can work (i've used cola as a leavening agent before). but then i'm relying on epidermally associated yeasts to make me the CO2, that feels like cheating.
but in theory, someone could run into a maize field at dusk, tie plastic bags around some (thousands) of plants, harvest the air before dawn, extract the CO2, pressurize it enough to blast it into water and then give me that carbonated water to use. does that count. plants make CO2 in the Kreb’s cycle so does it matter that the ginger beer's CO2 comes from a yeast digesting the ginger's glucose and not from the ginger burning its glucose how do you (imaginary arbiter of monocot cake law) know a yeast did it and not me breaking into a field at night with 10000 plastic bags i'm getting off track now.
every. single. time i make banana bread, i go to this recipe. i love this woman.
i also always omit more than half of the sugar, though. i usually just do 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. or like, today i'm outta brown sugar, so just doing 1/2 cup granulated.
i'm also adding half a cup of nuts this time, and in place of the 1 cup almond milk, i put in 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup apple juice (idk it's Fall).
it's in the oven! i'll let you know how it goes in an hour.

ooo fun
1. When I set my mind to something I get shit done no matter what
2. I’m a really, really empathetic person (not in the oooo I’m an ~empath~ way but you get me I hope)
3. I’m super creative even if I kind of dog myself about not being creative enough sometimes
4. I’m a fantastic cook - but also baker! I can also bake almost anything to be vegan and still just as good as if it weren’t
5. I’m way more smart than I ever give myself credit for and I’m trying to work on that
