Banana Bread

It’s near Idul Fitri so I wanted to bake some cookies for my littles. Found a recipe online, tried to veganize it, it was a bust *le sigh* The cookies were described to be melt in your mouth, and they really melt in your mouth, but also as soon as you placed the tray into the oven so they lost their shapes, and were not able to remove from the parchment paper without crumbling into nothingness hahaha

So my husband said instead throwing them into the bin, he asked me to make banana bread for the boys and add the crumbled cookies into the batter as he really liked the butterscotch flavor (the original cookies are vanilla flavored).

I am crossing Loran oil that I used for the flavoring is vegan!

Anyhoo, here is the banana bread with cookie crumbs in it. It is a good banana bread which I believe the cookies only added extra sweetness, that’s about it. You can definitely omit the cookies!

My boys love this banana bread. Sometimes I add chopped walnuts/oat

I add the failed veganized cookie recipe too (am blaming it on coconut oil!)
