    Banana Oat Cashew Quick bread Bar. Vegan

    Published: Mar 11, 2012 · Modified: Jun 22, 2018 by Richa 54 Comments

    Jump to Recipe   Print Recipe

    Its a Banana quick bread bar! If you are wondering why you don’t see enough Banana recipes here, its because Hubbs is mildly allergic to Bananas. Some days I miss adding some banana to baked goods for that added moisture and natural sweet.

    Jump to Recipe


     
    I like the usual nutty banana breads too, but they are usually crumbly and make a huge loaf. So I decided to grind up the nuts and add to the bread instead. This spicy bread got baked in a cake pan and holds well together, so you can just pick one slice up and munch on it without the mess, which is what I did walking around the house. I think the only other Banana recipe I have posted is the Banana Quinoa Oatmeal Cookie.
     
    Use oats, sorghum or other gf flour to make it gf. It will be a more crumbly than this with gluten version, but the banana will hold it well together.

    Some news, Puppy mills will be banned from another Southern Cal city. A couple of cities have already passed this ordinance. I would hope that they ban all kinds of breeding operations including pure breed breeders. Though there might be a few good breeders, a majority get sidetracked by other interests. Recently, a property of an AKC judge in WA, who is also a well known “reputable” breeder, was discovered to have a basement full of “pure breed” dogs which were not up the mark, for reasons as idiotic as misaligned teeth. Those poor pups were living in a dark dank basement in tiny cages, without enough food water or any interaction and were infested with diseases and half of them had developed mental problems. It was a horrible sad video.
     
    That tells you how we can never know how reputable or whatever a breeder really is. Please Adopt from a shelter. 6 millions pets are euthanized each year in the US, including very adoptable pure breeds and puppies, that is 1 pet killed every 8 seconds.
     
    This bread is also heading to Dairy free Breakfast club March originally hosted at Helen’s Fuss Free Flavours Breakfast Club.

      This recipe looks yumm. Can’t wait to try it out. But my kids are allergic to nuts. Can I skip cashews?

        Yes you can leave out the cashews – just add 4T more of 1 or all of the flours or ground oats.

      2. I’m so glad to hear that another city is banning puppy mills. It’s a step in the right direction, though I think we agree that there is a long way to go.

      Yummm! Banana flavoured baked goods have always been a favourite of mine, and I think that the cashews probably add such a good extra punch in these! Man, I haven’t baked in so long. I just may have some bananas lying around too.

      oh I love this! It sounds delicious and unlike banana bread, the delightful aroma will only taunt you for 35 minutes as opposed to the usual hour! It’s also nice that it only uses one banana. giving up three bananas for a bread sometimes irritates me.
      Will definitely make this soon.
