    Moist and delicious, this Banana and Peach Butter Bread with a Chia Crunch is a great twist on traditional banana bread. Vegan, refined sugar, egg, and dairy-free. Enjoy with a cup of tea in the afternoon for a quick pick me up and your belly will thank you!

    This recipe has been updated from the original September 2015 version in order to provide a better experience for our readers.

    Where did you come up with the idea for Banana and Peach Butter Bread?

    Ok I admit, Banana and Peach Butter Bread may sound like a random concoction....and it is...BUT it's a delicious one, so i am sure you will forgive me 🙂

    I was cleaning up the kitchen for the gazillionth time the other day, when little miss 2 came and asked if we could make some banana bread because (and I quote) 'it's mummies favorite and I want to say thank you for everything you do'. I assume the notorious Daniel Tiger is at play here, because I am pretty sure I have never suggested that banana bread is my favorite anything...nevertheless, how could I say no to this adorable request?

    Banana and Peach Butter Bread

    So here I am, making banana bread my new favourite thing! I wanted to make a vegan version, as I really prefer vegan baking (less egg mess when cooking with kids is a HUGE plus), and I had some leftover Peach Butter to try out in lieu of applesauce. If you don't have peach butter, never fear because regular old applesauce works really well too! I have a great Slow Cooker Applesauce recipe, if you end up stocking up on excess apples over the Fall, and want to make your own. I made a batch and froze it last Fall, and am literally just finishing up my last bit this week!

    Any Tips For Making Banana and Peach Bread?

    Awesome tip I learned in Tonga a couple of years back - make 2 batches of banana bread at a time. Eat one now (coz, as if you are going to be able to wait when you smell it coming out of the oven), and wrap the other one tightly in cling wrap, and leave on the bench at least overnight. The second one is going to be super moist and extra delicious the next morning!

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
