The kids are coming back home from school and tradition has it that Welcome Home comes with homemade Banana Bread!…and that’s because it’s just so nice to ….shower the people you love with love…show them the way that you feel (I have James Taylor in the background of course!!!)
This time, I made a vegan version of my traditional Banana bread, with no added sugar-NONE! The dates and bananas are the only source of intrinsic sugar in this delightful wholegrain dessert bread!
Here is the recipe!
Although your banana bread recipe looks awesome I’m rather surprised that you would choose such a controversial oil, rapeseed/canola over coconut, palm, olive or safflower oils.
Case in point, Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant!

Just thought I’d share my thoughts. I’ll definitely make the bread but with a much healthier oil.

Canola oil??? That’s not healthy at all ??
Hi Claudia!
You’ll find that I prefer to use canola oil in my baking because it’s a good source of monounsaturated fats, and it is the richest cooking-oil source of alpha-linolenic acid which has been linked to heart health. I also posted a little video clip by my husband, world-reknown nutrition expert, about why I prefer canola oil.
