Vegan Feta Cheese

Vegan cheese has come a long way! I used teh Violife vegan cheese and really liked it. Perfect for vegan or dairy free recipes. It would be great on a strawberry spinach salad for summer too!

Recipe Tips

I used a spoon to scoop out the middle but some people said to use a melon ball scooper. I’m going to have to try that next time!

I love banana bread in any form but these bites just hit different. Mini form anything is just more fun and therefore tastier, right? Plus these are made with only 5 ingredients and are gluten free + vegan. We’ve been trying to eat more plant based recipes lately and these bites are a great plant based breakfast, snack, or dessert. Basically, these vegan banana bread bites are tasty any time of time!
