Vegan Banana Bread Blondies

This recipe is dedicated to my good friend EP, who loves cake and banana bread as much as me, and I love her.

She’s also a much better person than I am and manages to be vegan. But sadly saving the planet  can make banana bread eating a little problematic.

So I made these Vegan Banana Bread Blondies because decent people deserve cake.
