1 Bowl Blueberry Peach Vegan Banana Bread

13 September, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 13 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll have already seen my bountiful Kitchener Market produce haul from a couple weeks ago. Summer is obviously the time to indulge in all the fresh fruit but I may have taken that to the extreme.

I mean, does one person actually need 3 pints of strawberries, 1 pint of blueberries, plus a crap tonne of peaches, tomatoes, greens and other assorted fruits? NOPE. But there were so many great deals that I just couldn’t say no. Hashtag logic.

Luckily, I got bit by the baking bug this week and decided to try my hand at vegan banana bread, which helped me use up the bananas, plus some peaches and bluebs.

I have a bit of an obsession with fruit and veggie based breads and muffins and I’ve been meaning to add a vegan banana bread recipe to my ‘collection’ for a while.

The last time I shared banana bread on the blog was way back in 2014 and it definitely wasn’t vegan. My pictures of said loaf also left a lot to be desired. Cringe Alert.

Luckily, this blueberry peach vegan banana bread is both pretty and yummy AF. There’s not a lot of added sugar in the batter so the fruit really gets a chance to shine. And despite being vegan and made with spelt flour, the banana bread isn’t sappy at all; just the perfect combination of cakey and moist.

Basically it’s everything you’ll ever want in a vegan banana bread and this one gets extra points because it’s non-vegan approved and you can make it in just one bowl. Less cleanup FTW.

Your turn:

Let me know in the comments what your favourite banana bread mixins are. I usually love adding cocoa powder or chocolate chips to mine, but peaches and bluebs may have just moved into first place.

    Gahh I’m so sad summer fruit is already disappearing at the market. This looks like such a tasty way to put it to use!

    I’ve only used flax seeds for eggs once and it worked surprisingly well. Love the flavors here!

    I am not vegan but this bread looks amazing. So moist! I haven’t tried adding peaches to my banana bread, that’s a nice idea!

    Do you think it would be possible to substitute all flours with gluten free self raising flour?

      Hi Shannon. I haven’t tested that myself but if your gluten-free flour can be substituted 1:1 with all purpose flour you should be okay with using 1 1/2 cups. I’d love to know how it turns out!

    I’ve made this TWICE this week! My family can’t get enough of it. I had to cook it much longer than an hour (1.5 hrs), but I used part graham flour and all purpose. It’s so delicious and not crumbly at all. I’ve also used frozen mango and peaches with the bananas. Turned out fabulous each time. This is now my go-to recipe. Thanks so much!
