Vegan Banana Bread

Michelle Davis

Very ripe bananas provide natural sweetness and moisture in this one-bowl quick bread, which skips eggs and dairy without sacrificing the soft, tender crumb of a classic loaf. Warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg deepen the flavor. It bakes in about 55 to 60 minutes and keeps well for several days.

Equipment

1 Mixing bowls
1 9x5 Inch Loaf Pan
1 Whisk
1 Spatula
1 Oven

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

3 large Ripe Bananas Mashed until smooth
½ cup Coconut Sugar Or substitute with brown sugar
⅓ cup Coconut Oil Melted
¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour Can use whole wheat or gluten-free flour blend
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
½ cup Chopped Walnuts Or Dark Chocolate Chips; Optional, for extra texture and flavor

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Whisk in the coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If adding walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra moisture and a deeper flavor, allow the banana bread to rest overnight before slicing.
