Eggless Aquafaba Cashew And Chocolate Cake

Cinnamon : I use dried ground cinnamon in this recipe. If you don’t like cinnamon you can omit it or substitute it with dried ground ginger which will pair nicely with the nutmeg.

Nutmeg : I use dried ground nutmeg, if you use freshly ground halve the amount, and make sure it’s ground not grated. You can omit if you don’t have any or don’t like it, or substitute it with dried ground ginger.

Baking soda : Also known as bicarbonate of soda, make sure it’s reasonably fresh and hasn’t been sitting in your cupboard for over a year. If you don’t have any to hand you can use triple the amount of baking powder instead (so three teaspoons).

Brown sugar : Use any type of brown sugar you prefer, light, dark, demerara, or turbinado. I don’t recommend using muscovado as it can be quite overpowering in baked goods. White sugar can be used as a last resort but your banana bread won’t be as dark and moist.

Bananas : Use medium or large bananas, small ones won’t cut it. Spotted brown overripe bananas are best for making this banana bread but if you’re like me and never have them to hand, you can microwave or bake (I baked the ones in the photo) slightly underripe bananas (see more in my expert tips section below).

Vanilla extract : Lovely with the molasses note from the brown sugar but can be omitted or substituted with rum extract or banana extract.

Vegan Aquafaba Recipes • Cooking On Caffeine

Aquafaba : This is the starchy viscous water that cooked chickpeas are stored in. You can find it in canned chickpeas, jarred chickpeas, or cooked chickpeas. Note that if you used a lot of liquid for cooking your chickpeas, the aquafaba won’t be strong enough. A necessity for this recipe, it really helps denser quickbreads hold together.

All-purpose flour : Plain white all-purpose flour is the best blank canvas for all the tastiness going on here. If you really must have some wholemeal flour, you can use it but only half the amount – quickbreads like banana bread are not as firm as yeast bread and the more wholemeal you use, the crumblier your bread will be.

Once done, take out the bread and pierce with a wooden skewer or cocktail stick in the middle. If it comes blackout coated with batter you’ll need to return the banana bread to the oven until done. If it comes out clean, your banana bread is done.

Allow your banana bread to cool in the tin, covered with a slightly damp tea towel. While it’s yummy to eat warm, be aware that your banana bread will be easier to slice if you allow it to cool completely. Then just use a bread knife to loosen the sides of the tin and gently tip it out.

Aquafaba is the liquid from chickpeas but in a pinch, you can swap it out for the liquid from other legumes. Apple sauce can also be used, you’ll need to use half a cup in this recipe, but note it will yield a lighter slightly drier texture.

Yes! I recommend cooling the loaf and slicing it before freezing it for up to three months. Then defrost in the fridge overnight and eat up. You can also store individual slices and heat them up in the toaster without defrosting.
