Got bored & made vegan banana bread. Turned out delicious 🍌🍞
Elle’s Vegan Banana Bread!
Okay so here is my recipe for the greatest banana bread you will ever eat. It has no dairy, no sugar, no eggs, no oil and no margarine or nut butters.
Ingredients:
2 cups wholemeal flour
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 over ripe bananas
7+ dates
Handful of walnuts
Method:
In a bowl mash together bananas and dates until mixed evenly.
In a larger bowl add dry ingredients (flour, coconut, salt, baking soda) and mix. Add milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract and banana/dates. Mix evenly (try not to over mix).
Fold in handful of walnuts.
Pour mixture into baking tin or pot. Sprinkle with coconut and walnuts.
Bake for an hour or until a skewer comes out clean! (180 degrees celsius on fan forced)
Enjoy!

Vegan Green Protein Yogurt Bowl.
I have been making these ‘yogurt’ bowls to have after my workouts. Whether that be in the morning or evening, I make this and it’s a whole meal because of the consistency. It’s much thicker than a smoothie, filling, healthy and tastes so delicious.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
1 date
1 banana
1 cheek of mango (just buy the canned one and keep it in the fridge)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp Tony Sfier/s Greens Boost
30g Vanilla Vital Protein Pea Protein
1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
1 cup of ice
Method:
Add the almond milk, date, banana and mango to a blender - blend for 5-10 seconds. Add the chia seeds, greens boost and protein powder - blend for 5-10 seconds. Add the peanut butter - blend for 5 seconds. Add the the ice - blend until combined (add more ice for a thicker consistency).
I pour mine into my flower bowl from IKEA haha.
Enjoy!

appealingtiger asked: Do you know of any sites or anybody willing to explain why you should go vegan/vegetarian?
I wrote an article late last year explaining this. You can find it here… http://www.ryleeandelle.com/post/34623846886
Hope it helps!

Vegan Chocolate & Banana Cupcakes w/ Chocolate, Banana, Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam Frosting!
Ummm talk about indulgent?
Elle came up with this recipe simply because she didn’t have another ingredients but these to work with.
Batter Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup water
1 banana
6 dates
Batter Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line a cupcake pan with patty cake papers (makes 12).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda & salt. Add the vanilla extract, vinegar, oil & water. Using a spatula, mix the batter until smooth.
In a separate bowl mash together the banana & dates (you may need to microwave the dates so they are softer). Mix into the batter mixture & divide evenly into the tray.
Baking time depends on what size cupcakes you are making. Just use your brain and check every 5 minutes as they don’t take long.
Frosting Ingredients:
2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
2 tbsp 100% strawberry jam
1 banana
1/2 block Lindt Dark Chocolate (75-80% cocoa)
Frosting Method:
Melt the chocolate in the microwave and mix all ingredients together! Keep it in the fridge and ice the cupcakes once they have cooled.
These turned out freaking delicious so enjoy!

nivage asked: Hey Rylee & Elle! I have always been a vegetarian and really wanted to swap to a vegan lifestyle. The only problem was that I got diagnosed with Coeliac disease about a year ago. I thought it would be so hard for me to actually eat the things I like, but your blog have helped me so much! I really enjoy cooking and eating again and I want to thank you both for that. I hope you are as inspiring for others as you guys are for me. Keep up the good work! Love, Nicole
Nicole!
