I have a huge sweet tooth, but if we are being honest I don't like baking. When I do bake, I want the recipe to be super easy to make. This Vegan 5 Ingredient Banana Bread is so easy to make and made with healthier ingredients.
I baked this banana bread with spelt flour, which is such a good alternative to all purpose flour. It has more nutrients but still rises well and is fluffy. This banana bread has much less sugar than your standard banana bread but is still plenty sweet. This is a great recipe to keep on hand for healthy snacks or even breakfast.
Let's get into the recipe.

Absolutely delicious! I did king Arthur’s GF flour, added walnuts and did a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. I love the mild sweetness of the bread, it’s so moist. I’m a mom of 6, so this was the best, FAST recipe to make. Perfection.
