Butterscotch Banana Bread (Vegan!)

I went home for Spring Break, and my siblings immediately wanted to bake. It was nice to get back into the baking groove! I can't wait to go home this summer so I can start regularly updating this blog again. 

We chose banana bread, because we had an ENORMOUS amount of bananas in the house just ripening. It's my family tradition to make my mom's banana bread, so she asked my siblings, my grandmother, and me to make it. However, that recipe has eggs and milk. So we created a new version that's vegan! AND we incorporated vegan butterscotch chips I had ordered online over the summer into the recipe. It was SO delicious, especially because the butterscotch chips just melt and soak into the bread.
