This Vegan Banana Bread is the easiest way to use the left over ripened bananas in my kitchen. I generally prefer to use such bananas for baking rather than to use them in a smoothie. As my kids, generally love to eat this rather than a smoothie.
I had some half a kilo of fresh cherries bought from farmers market, wanted to definitely bake something. And at the same time I had over ripened bananas lying in the fruit basket.
So just combined both to bake a bread. It turned out super fluffy, soft and was insanely delicious. Do give and try, and let me know how you liked it.

Important points to remember for baking, ‘Vegan Cherry Banana Bread Recipe’:
Remember that all the ingredients must be at room temperature before starting to use them.
After applying the cake tine with a few drops of oil, line it with parchment paper / baking paper. But, if you are short of parchment paper, just dust some flour over the cake tin after oil brushing.
I generally pre-heat the oven, for 7 to 8 mins, after which I immediately place the cake tin into the oven for baking.
Over mixing / too much of blending the dry & wet ingredients, is not suggested. Just blend for a min, such that all the ingredients are mixed well and there are no lumps in the mix.
I have tried the same recipe, with double the ingredients, and the output turned great.

To Make Cake Mix:





Baking:


Tips:
- Follow the exact measurements for a perfect bake.
- The sugar which I used is unrefined cane sugar, hence my cake has turned out extra dark in colour. If not it would be to the light brown in colour.
- Do not overmix the flour and other ingredients.
- You can add any oil like vegetable oil or sunflower oil. I have used sunflower oil.
- Instead of fresh cherries, you might use fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, fresh raspberries or fresh black berries.
- Please check the cake after 50 mins, if the toothpick comes out clean take it out of the oven, if not let it bake for 10 mins more.
Result:
- The colour of this, Cherry & banana bread eggless cake, is dusky and had rough texture to look.
- It is very soft from inside, nutty and crunchy in texture.
- The cake was all fruity and nutty to look at.
- As I added fresh cherries, every bite of the cake had the fruity flavour and taste.
