STRAWBERRY BANANA BREAD

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Strawberry banana breadThis strawberry banana bread recipe is made by my friend Rainbow Nourishments Anthea Cheng who kindly let me post it. This recipe is from her beautiful vegan cookbook: Incredible Plant-Based Desserts and it is originally a passionfruit banana bread. Since we didn’t have any passionfruit, I decided to make a berry version of this yummy bread.

Incredible Plant-Based Desserts by Anthea Cheng

Anthea’s book is full of gorgeous recipes as is her blog Rainbownourishments and Instagram. I’ve followed Anthea from the very start (for a few years already) and I’ve always been amazed by her baking skills and her ambition. Her positive drive and also her kindness shines through in all her posts. I am so lucky to have connected with her on Instagram and if you haven’t already, I hope you do so too!

Strawberry banana breadAnthea works hard and with passion. Not only is she a super talented vegan chef, but she is also a very talented food photographer and food stylist. She also had a successful cake business before writing her cookbook.

So if you’re looking for a vegan baking book with a great variety of sweet recipes, I warmly recommend Anthea’s book! Incredible Plant-Based Desserts is all about beautiful cakes, tarts, cookies and other delicious treats. The recipes are all vegan and some are also gluten-free and nut-free.

Strawberry banana bread: fluffy and delicious

I chose Anthea’s banana bread from her book because it looks so cozy and delicious! I actually didn’t bake a lot of banana bread during quarantine but I’ve compensated for it in the summer by baking this bread already twice.

The recipe is easy to follow and it was fun to make. I imagine this would be so good with passionfruit, which is the original recipe. I will definitely try that too!

ps I haven’t adjusted the recipe much, just used strawberries instead of passionfruit. I also added a coconut cream frosting whereas Anthea’s recipe has a yogurt frosting – that would be super yummy too!
