Coconut Sugar is for a rich deep sweet taste.

Organic granulated sugar helps sweeten a huge load such as this one.

Flaxseed meal - mixed with water is a perfect substitution for 2 eggs.

Dairy-free milk - for moisture and taste.

Apple cider vinegar - is perfect to add to the milk to mimic the addition of buttermilk.

Vanilla Extract - for that extra something special for flavoring.

Banana - is major in flavor and nutrition.

Whole wheat flour - ties everything together and is more nutritious than some other flours.

Baking powder - helps make the whole concoction rise nice and fat.

Salt - is an all necessary seasoning.

Ground nutmeg - adds more seasoning for that perfect treat.

Cereal - for the streusel makes this extra special and thicker topping.

Organic granulated sugar - is a necessity for streusel topping.

HOW DO YOU MAKE DAIRY FREE BANANA BREAD?

Lay a piece of parchment paper across the bottom of the pan so that it comes up and over the edge a bit.

Grease this too. It will help you remove the bread.

For the Cake:

In a large bowl cream the non-dairy butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. It takes about 5 minutes.

Mix 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. You can also use chia seeds or any of your favorite egg substitutes.

Mix the apple cider vinegar and the non-dairy milk in a small bowl and set aside.

Combine the substitute eggs and vanilla with the sugar mixture.

Add the dairy-free milk mixture to the mashed banana. Mix well.

In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and ground nutmeg.

To the flour mixture add to the sugar mixture alternately with the banana mixture.

Don't overmix.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

For the Topping:

Combine all of the ingredients and mix well. I use my fingers to crumble the topping over the batter in the pan.

Bake at 325° for 50 to 60 minutes.

Let sit for 5 minutes and then remove by grabbing onto the parchment paper and carefully lift.

Set on a cooling rack, remove the paper right away and let the banana bread cool.

There are only two of us in our household so I do have to freeze half of the cake.

That's okay! It defrosts perfectly so now there is some for the future. Not too sweet and just right for a snack too.

Life is good.
