Banana and I have been best buds throughout my life. I just couldn’t picture a world without them. They add sweetness to an otherwise boring porridge, lend their creamy texture to smoothies, and caramelize nicely in a pan with some coconut oil and maple syrup as a late night treat.
Out of the 41 recipes on the blog made with banana, my ultimate favorites are…
Vegan chocolate banana cake bars – a portable banana snack cake made with chia seed gel.
Upside down oil-free pancakes – gluten-free, oil-free, reduced fat pancakes that are high on taste and low in calories. The sliced bananas caramelize on top making it a gooey delicious treat you’ll have a hard time believing is good for you!
Chocolate banana cream cups – 8 ingredient gluten-free and vegan chocolate banana ice cream cups with no added sugar.
Grain-free banana bread protein cake – a mini gluten-free banana bread for one! It’s higher in protein and fiber than your average cake making it a perfect light snack, treat, or breakfast option.
Vegan banana bread animal crackers– these animal crackers make a great take along snack for any age!
Banana chocolate chip protein pancakes – light, fluffy and ridiculously filling.
Overnight banana cherry pudding – a raw, high fiber breakfast with mashed banana, fresh cherries, flax and chia seeds.
Blueberry banana cake bars– lightly sweetened cake with blueberries, banana, and a walnut topping.
Banana drunk macaroons– light and fluffy coconut morsels sweetened with bananas and no added sugar.
