Low waste and plant-based cooking

Quick and easy banana bread

Banana bread has always been one of my hands-down favorite go-to recipes. I’ve been making some variation of this since the eliminating dairy and eggs from my diet; a complete hit from day one. You know you have a winning recipe when non-vegans keep asking when you’re making it again. Fast forward 14+ years and this plant-based banana bread recipe is still a winner.

It works great in a loaf pan or you can bake them in muffin pans for pre-made servings. One tip, don’t skip the step of letting the milk and apple cider vinegar sit. This begins to curdle and turns into a buttermilk which really does make a difference.

Hope you enjoy as much as I do! It’s sure to put a smile on your face.

Servings 8 slices
Calories 120 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup cane sugar (or 1/3 cup brown sugar +1/3 cup granulated sugar)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup blueberries or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚ F and lightly grease a 9-inch loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit as you move to the next steps. It will begin to curdle and make a buttermilk.
  • In another small bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour through salt).
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas well, then stir in the oil and vanilla.
  • Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
  • Add the milk mixture and gently stir to combine. Don’t overmix; the batter will be thick.
  • Fold in blueberries or chocolate chips, if using.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips to decorate (optional).
  • Bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.

🍓Spring is in the air! Which for me means I’m 🍓Spring is in the air! Which for me means I’m back to my breakfast bowl routine. Are you a berry fan? This is a great start to the day, packed with omega-3’s, fiber, and most of all FLAVOR! 💛

Strawberry chia breakfast bowl. Serves 2

Bottom layer 
1 cup plant-based milk
1/4 cup chia seeds

Top layer
5.3 oz or 2/3 cups plant-based yogurt, plain
1 cup strawberries
2 tablespoon agave or maple syrup (optional)
Extra berries for topping

Instructions
*Whisk milk and chia seeds, let set in fridge overnight, or at least 6 hours.
*Blend yogurt and berries, let set in fridge for at least 2 hours. I let it set overnight alongside the chia mixture.
*After setting, stir the chia mixture well. It might be lumpy. I usually give it a good stir after it’s been setting for 30 min to reduce lumps.
*Pour half the chia mixture into a bowl, top with half the berry mixture and 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave. Repeat in a second bowl with the the remaining. 
*Add extra berries or other toppings of choice. I often use shaved chocolate or coconut.

Enjoy!

Who wants a cookie?! 🙋🏼‍♀️🍪 I’d s Who wants a cookie?! 🙋🏼‍♀️🍪 I’d say it’s unreal how good these are, but really it’s not. Being vegan is so easy, there’s nothing I miss or feel like I had to give up to live a plant-based lifestyle. Thanks to @unreal.snacks and other brands, I even can have peanut  coated candy. 

These monster cookies are packed with peanuts, oats and chocolate. A peanut lovers heaven! 🥜🍫🍪Who’s gonna help me eat all these?!

Do you practice mindfulness? 🌸 I try to be pr Do you practice mindfulness? 🌸 

I try to be present, but our minds have years of habits and work overtime far too much. Making lists, planning the day, mindless scrolling on websites, worrying about the future or rehashing the past. It takes awareness and practice to stay present.
🌿
Mindfulness has been found to be a key element in stress reduction and overall happiness. Something we all could use more of, especially after this past year. 
🌿
A Mindful Vegan teaches you how to practice mindfulness and shows how it can bring freedom and new joy to eating and living experiences. The more we are present, the more we are able to feel authentically connected with ourselves and others.
🌿
I’m excited for this journey. 🧘🏼‍♀️Healing my heart and my mind ♥️
