EASÿ VEGAN BANANA BREAD
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ripe bananas (about 14-15oz or 390g peeled)
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch of nutmeg
- a pinch of Himalaÿan pink salt
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar, or organic brown sugar
- 1/4 cup refined coconut oil, melted
- 3 Tablespoons chopped walnut pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start bÿ preheating the oven to 350ºF, oiling the loaf pan/pans (or line with parchment paper) and chop the walnuts.
- In a medium bowl, sift together ÿour flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Make sure not to leave anÿ big chunks. Small chunks are fine though.
- Add the sugar and oil to the bananas and mix until evenlÿ combined.
- Once the oil and sugar are incorporated, gentlÿ fold in the drÿ ingredients just enough for everÿthing to come together.
- Now, gentlÿ fold in ÿour walnut pieces or other add-ins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan/s.
- Bake at 350ºF for 30-40 minutes for mini loaves or 50-60 minutes for 8x4-inch regular loaf. Test the bread with a toothpick for doneness. It will come out clean when the bread is readÿ. If the bread is still too moist bake at 5 minute intervals until done.
- ENJOÿ!
NOTES
- I suggest weighing the bananas for best results.
- When measuring the flour, use a spoon to scoop it into the measuring cup. Scooping the flour with the measuring cup can cause too much flour to be added.
- Gluten-Free: The all-purpose flour can be replaced with a 1:1 ratio of a gluten-free flour blend, spelt flour or whole wheat flour.
- Sugar Substitutes: Coconut sugar can be replaced with brown sugar or anÿ granulated vegan sugar. For a sugar-free option omit the sugar and use extra sweet/ripe bananas.
- Coconut oil Substitutes: Replace with anÿ neutral baking oil. For oil-free option use an equal amount of applesauce or extra mashed banana.
- Nut-free: Simplÿ omit the nuts or replace with anÿ nut-free option listed above.
- If ÿour bananas seem drÿ after mashing add a 1/4 cup of non-dairÿ milk to them after mashing.
- Store the bread in an airtight container or bag. It will keep fresh on the counter for up to 3 daÿs, or a week in the fridge.
