Vegan Banana & Walnut Bread
Banana bread is one of my all-time favourite things on the planet (no exaggeration), and this vegan banana and walnut bread really hits the spot. It’s great as a pretty healthy breakfast with some fresh berries, or as a treat with a cup of tea. And since it’s vegan, it’s also guilt-free!
