This Easy Banana and Passionfruit Bread by Incredible Plant-Based Desserts, Anthea Cheng is a tropical and fun recipe for when you’re craving something comforting but refreshing! Interestingly, the viscous texture of the passionfruit puree acts as a binder instead of eggs. The bananas give the loaf extra moisture and sweetness. However, extra sugar is needed to balance out the tartness of the passionfruit. The high amount of fruit in this recipe makes a dense and moist loaf.

6. Warming Jerk Jackfruit with Pineapple, Corn, Peppers and Sweet Potato

Jackfruit is a very useful vegan alternative to meat. It’s a versatile fruit that absorbs flavors well, making it ideal for savory dishes. You can buy it either in cans or vacuum packed. In this Warming Jerk Jackfruit with Pineapple, Corn, Peppers and Sweet Potato by Claire Swift and Sarah Biagetti, we have lightly coated the jackfruit with a little bit of delicious jerk spice and balanced the flavors with roasted pineapple, sweet potato wedges, corn on the cob and peppers. This sheet pan meal is a vibrant array of color and flavor. You can serve it straight from the tray, though our kids also like to load the pineapple, jerk jackfruit and peppers into tacos with fresh crispy lettuce, rice and black beans, eating the cobs and the wedges on the side.
