Vegan Banana Almond Bread & Salted Caramel Sauce
Vegan banana and almond bread with whole spelt flour, not too sweet. With salted caramel sauce on the side.
Equipment
- Rectangular bread pan. I used 30X10 cm depth 8 cm
- Mixing bowl
- Syrup brush
- Pan
- Spatula
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 Cups Whole spelt flour
- 1 Cup Almond flour
- 1 Tsp Baking soda
- 1 Tsp Baking powder
- ½ Tsp Sea salt
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
Wet ingredients
- ½ Cup Coconut sugar
- 4 Mashed ripe bananas And another one to garnish on top
- ½ Cup Grapeseed oil or Coconut oil
- ½ Cup Plant milk
- 1 Tbsp. Vanilla Paste
- 1 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
- ¾ Cup Roasted almond sticks Half into the batter and a quarter to garnish on top
- 1 Tbsp. Maple syrup For brushing over the cake when done baking
Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce
- ¾ Cup Sugar
- 225 ml Vegan heavy cream or coconut cream
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp. Vegan butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 ° C. Oil the bottom and sides of the baking pan.
- In the first bowl weigh all the dry ingredients.
- In a second bowl mash 4 bananas, add the sugar, and the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry and mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the oiled pan and straighten with a spatula.
- Garnish the top with almond sticks. Cut a banana in half lengthwise and gently place over the batter. Sprinkle coconut sugar over the bananas or brush them with maple syrup.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, and towards the end check with a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out dry, then it is ready.
Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce
- Heat sugar in a pan over medium-high heat while stirring gently until all the sugar has melted. Once melted and taken on a brown caramel color, turn off the heat, add the cream or coconut cream, and stir well.
- Add the salt and vegan butter and continue to mix. Wait for the caramel to cool slightly before transferring to a bowl.
Notes
The banana bread is reduced in sugar so, to that I added a salted caramel sauce on the side. If you want, you can add another half cup of coconut sugar to the cake, (or not, still delicious!) and you can skip the caramel sauce.
