Inspired by the banana breads of our first ever spring quarantine, but this version is a little healthier than the butter- and sugar-laden treats we made back in the early days of the pandemic. Made with high-fibre teff flour and all vegan ingredients, this is the gluten-free banana bread you deserve in 2022.
