This vegan banana bread is just like the one my mom used to make. Bake it a bit less if you like it moist and dense, or leave it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes after you turn off the heat to dry out a bit. My family is divided on their banana bread tastes, so I’ll leave it to you to decide.

PREP TIP: If you’ve let your bananas get overripe, peel them and freeze them in zip-top plastic bags to have on hand for smoothies and banana bread.
