Go bananas and enjoy the sweetness of vegan treats

Print this recipe
Fresh ripe fruit is hard to beat but sometimes peaches, nectarines, and apples lack flavor even at the peak of the season. But a perfectly ripe banana never fails to please. Eaten out of hand or transformed into a silky smoothie or indulgent baked good, bananas never let you down.
Many vegan desserts fall flat on flavor. However, if you stick to ones that rely on bananas for texture and taste, you'll be asked for the recipe from every person who tastes them, regardless of their diet philosophy.
