There's something about a big, thick slice of deliciously moist banana bread that makes you want to grab a cup of hot tea, your favorite book, and curl up with a soft, fuzzy blanket - or maybe that's just me. Either way, you're going to love this recipe!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter (softened)

  • 5 tablespoons non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup banana (mashed)
