"Banana Bread is a true classic and a real favorite. Everyone has their own (preferred) recipe but the truth is we are always searching for that perfect one. It probably is an impossible mission but this Aaron’s Grandma’s Vegan Banana Bread recipe comes pretty close. Using simple ingredients and needing only one bowl to prepare it means this recipe is very close to our hearts."
