Ingredients
Time: 65 minutes Yield: 9-10 slices

1/4 cup non-dairy butter (melted) or light olive oil
2-3 ripe bananas
2 Tbs + 2 tsp sugar or agave nectar
1/4 cup non-dairy, unsweetened milk
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbs flax meal (optional)
1/2 Tbs chia seeds (optional)
1 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats (or gluten-free oats)
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ยบ F and prepare a loaf pan by lightly oiling and dusting with flour. Remove excess flour by knocking the back of the pan over the trash or sink.
In a large bowl, peel & mash the bananas with a fork or whisk.
Once mashed, mixed together well with the non-dairy butter or oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
Then, mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, flax meal, and chia seeds. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
Next, mix in the non-dairy milk and combine well.
Then, gently fold in the oats with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated.
Fold in the flour until the batter is fully formed. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
Lastly, fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and place it in the oven.
Bake for 50-55 minutes. The top should be crisp and firm and test the inside by poking with a toothpick or butter knife. If it comes out clean, your bread is done.
Allow it to cool before enjoying it!
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or at room temperature for 3 days.

Vegan Lemon Bars are a delightful dessert to enjoy in springtime. This recipe is easy to make and modify for your dietary needs. For a gluten-free option, try substituting with 1:1 gluten-free flour. Top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or fresh raspberries or blueberries.
Ingredients
Yield: ~20 small squares Time: 45 minutes
Vegan Lemon Bars
Shortbread
1 cup non-dairy butter
1 Tbs lemon zest
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups flour
Lemon Filling
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemon’s worth)
3/4 cup coconut cream*
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 Tbs lemon zest
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/8 tsp salt
Small pinch of turmeric powder
Extra powdered sugar for topping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ยบF
Prepare a square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with vegan butter
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, lemon zest, powdered sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Then, gradually fold the butter mix into the flour by hand, being careful not to overmix. The dough should form together and only be a little crumbly.
Press the dough into the baking pan evenly. Place the shortbread in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon filling.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice and cornstarch until thoroughly mixed and free of lumps.
Then, whisk in the salt, lemon zest, coconut cream, sugar, and butter.
Set heat to medium on the stove to cook the lemon filling, whisking together constantly until the butter and sugar have melted. Then add in the turmeric.
Continue whisking for about 10-15 minutes until the filling begins to bubble.
Remove from heat once done. The filling should be glossy and thick.
Evenly distribute the filling on top of the shortbread and allow it to cool and set.
Cut and serve once fully cooled.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Wait until the lemon bars have fully cooled before dusting with powdered sugar on top, otherwise, the sugar will dissolve into the filling.
*You can try and substitute the coconut cream for another thick non-dairy milk such as cashew or oatmilk combined with silken tofu (1/2 cup each), but will result in not as thick of a bar filling.
