Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the wet ingredients:
3 medium to large extra ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ⅓ cup mashed banana)
⅓ cup melted and cooled coconut oil
½ cup packed brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dairy free milk of choice
For the dry ingredients:
1 ¾ cup all purpose flour (or sub whole wheat pastry flour, white whole wheat flour or chickpea flour for a GF option)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Optional add-ins:
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan with parchment paper and grease the inside of the pan to prevent sticking. If you use a larger loaf pan, such as a 9x5, please know your bread will be much thinner and will take less time to cook.
  • In a large bowl mix together the mashed banana, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract and milk to a bowl until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it's totally fine if there are some lumps of banana, etc. Feel free to fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or ½ cup chocolate chips (or both!) if you'd like.
  • Add banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Once bread is cool, cut into 10 slices. Serve with nut butter spread on top for a healthy snack or breakfast on the go.

Tips:

1. Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with dark yellow skin and brown spots.

2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy bread.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.

4. Add the dry ingredients gradually, alternating with the wet ingredients: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too dry or lumpy.

5. Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

6. Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.

7. Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Vegan banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. With a few simple tips, you can make a moist, flavorful, and healthy vegan banana bread that everyone will love.
