This healthy sugar free banana & raspberry loaf cake is probably one the easiest vegan cakes you’ll ever make and only requires a handful of ingredients to prepare. A perfect afternoon snack to accompany your cup of tea, especially when you serve it with a generous dollop of nut butter, just for good measure!

 

Healthy Vegan Banana & Raspberry Loaf

 

How was your Easter weekend? We had some incredibly stunning hot weather here in the UK and spent the majority of it out and about hunting for Easter chocolate eggs, playing on the beach and ‘picnic-ing’ to our hearts’ content whilst the good weather lasted (it’s all due to change back to rain soon!)

 

When celebrating Easter in Russia as a child, I remember my mum baking traditional Russian Easter cake known as ‘kulich’ the night before Easter, when everyone was asleep and it was all tranquil and quiet in the kitchen. Descending to the kitchen in the morning, to see freshly baked cakes and coloured eggs (which is another Russian tradition – to colour hard boiled eggs for Easter), was a real joy. Traditionally, we would take the Easter cakes to the church to get blessed by the priest before they could be eaten but my mum would always save me a little cake to try before the church – I was far too impatient to wait!

 

Healthy Vegan Banana & Raspberry Loaf

 

This year my mum was visiting us for Easter and we had all the intentions of baking the tradition ‘kulich’ but the dough needs a lot of attention with proving, kneading and what not, so I decided something quick and easy would have to do instead. That’s how this moist banana & raspberry loaf cake was born.

 

HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHY VEGAN BANANA & RASPBERY LOAF

 

The recipe for this healthy banana & raspberry vegan loaf is so easy that anyone can make it, even if you have zero baking skills. It’s just a matter of mixing dry & wet ingredients, combining them together and ‘handing them over’ to the oven.

As you’ll see from the recipe, I didn’t use any additional sweeteners, as bananas already make it quite sweet, whilst raspberries add a slight ‘tarty’ flavour to this vegan bake. However, if you prefer your cake on the sweeter side, just add a few tablespoons of maple syrup or any other sweetener of your choice.

I’d really recommend serving this moist and slightly crunchy banana & raspberry loaf warm with a generous dollop of nut butter to guarantee a ‘cake heaven experience’.

      Hi Jaksh. You can replace the oil with more nut butter, it should work ok.

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo
#ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganua #ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganuary? No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so. In my humble opinion, Violife cheese alternatives are one of the best at the vegan isle. You can find Violife products in Asda, Coop, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waitrose.
