Eggless Coffee Banana Bread

Eggless Coffee Banana Cake/ Coffee cake/ Banana Cake/Coffee Banana Cake

Today`s recipe is a nice and moist Eggless Coffee Banana Bread.

I must admit, I was always skeptical in trying cakes/bread without eggs. Cakes and eggs were always synonymous to me. I have made this bread several times (with eggs though) and this recipe from a cookbook has never disappointed me.
Today I wanted to try the eggless version or rather was compelled to try one when I realized I didn`t have the eggs.

I was doubtful until the cake came out of the oven and for me to taste it (It was like writing your first exam and waiting for the results). The result was the exact tasting cake which I have been making with eggs. Madhuram`s eggless cakes has always tempted me to try one. Except for the eggs, I haven`t changed my recipe.

With temperatures below zero the past week, it was time for a nice warm cake and Chai/tea.

7. 1 teaspoon flax seed powder mixed with 1/4 cup water
8. 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
