Vegan Banana Bread Yogurt Recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 can full-fat coconut milk (14 oz)
* 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt (unflavored and unsweetened)
* 1/4 cup mashed ripe bananas
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (optional, for a sour-yeast flavor)
* 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
* 1/4 cup cashew pieces (optional, for added creaminess)
Instructions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the coconut milk, vegan yogurt, mashed bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract, yeast (if using), and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Taste and adjust the sweetness or flavor as needed.
3. Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
4. If using cashew pieces, add them to the mixture and stir well.
5. Cover the jar and let it rest at room temperature (around 72°F to 76°F) for 2-3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. The mixture will start to thicken and develop a creamy texture.
6. After the resting period, give the mixture a good stir and transfer it to an ice cream maker (if you have one). Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill and thicken further. Then, use a hand mixer or whisk to stir the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.
