Vegan Banana Cherry Bread

Baking soda challenge??? I am in!

But of course, through goodies from my kitchen 😀

If you are looking banana bread that is more to bread in texture instead tea-cake or quick bread, give my banana cherry bread a try! It is so good and toast-able! My two little sons love it big time 🙂

This bread is using buttermilk, and as this is a vegan bread, I have not seen commercial vegan buttermilk yet, but it is do-able to make yourself.

As easy as to make dairy buttermilk, obviously!

In a bowl, make buttermilk out of:

1/3 c almond milk mixed with 2 tbsp lemon juice

Now let’s prepare some dry and wet ingredients before we start baking 🙂

Mix dry ingredients in another bowl:

2 c flour
2 tbsp flour
3/4 tsp each BP and BSoda
A pinch of salt

Now for wet ingredients:

In a separate bowl, mash and mix 3 large ripe banana with 1/4 c maple syrup

Pour in buttermilk and mix well

Now that you got your buttermilk, dry and wet ingredients, we are good to go 😀

Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir to just combined

Stir in about 20 defrosted frozen sweet dark black cherries

Bake in preheated 350 F for an H

Cool on rack (please make sure it’s totally cooled to room temperature before wrapping the bread).

Easy peasy 😀 Enjoy!
