I am so excited to share today’s WFPB banana bread recipes with you guys! I really don’t think there is a fruit more versatile than the banana. You can do so much with the humble banana. You can freeze them and make ice cream (nice cream), you can make little peanut butter chocolate bites with them, you can eat them plain, you can make smoothies with them(make sure to follow me on Instagram to see my weekly #smoothiebowlsaturday.), and of course you can bake recipes like this whole foods plant based banana bread with them.

Bananas are so versatile, because they are so naturally sweet and creamy. That’s why this healthy low sugar banana bread vegan recipe was such a hit. Because of the natural sweetness of bananas, there’s no need for added, or refined sugar in this whole foods plant based banana bread recipe. I knew that since I had the power of bananas for this recipe that I wanted to make it date-free as well. I know that not everyone loves dates as much as I do, so I am trying to provide more date-free recipes! However, if you are a fan of dates be sure to check out some of my favorite naturally sweetened vegan desserts!
