Toasted Coconut Cardamom Banana Bread (Eggless, Vegan)


I buy a lot of bananas with the intention of eating them and then I end up with a lot of pretty over ripe bananas! So I wanted to make a banana bread that had some more flavor than the usual recipes and I wanted to make it eggless.  It took a bit of testing and tweaking to make this work because I wanted more banana than whole wheat flour in the recipe.  I ended up with a good balance, 3 bananas to 1 cup sprouted whole wheat flour.  If you skip the cardamom sugar glaze on top, this bread only has 1/2 cup added coconut sugar.  But the sugar glaze and crunchy toasted coconut flakes do add a nice extra crunchy texture and flavor!

I made this recipe vegan by using plant milk and vegan sour cream (Kite Hill brand), but those two can easily be swapped out for dairy milk and dairy sour cream.

It is a quick recipe to throw together in a bowl and pop in the oven, give it a whirl and let me know how it came out!
