Ingredients
  • 3 medium Ripe Bananas
  • 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup Vegan Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Vegan Butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Non-Dairy Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. This will prevent the bread from sticking.

Mashing the Bananas

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. A few small lumps are okay, but try to avoid large chunks.

Combining Wet Ingredients

Add the vegan sugar, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Adding Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This ensures even distribution of the baking soda and spices.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans (if using).

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, tent it with foil.

Cooling and Serving

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
