Time & Servings

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 50 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour
• Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water (for flax egg)

Directions

1. Prepare the vegan binder: In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water and stir well. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens into a gel-like consistency.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
4. Incorporate the prepared flax egg into the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the bread fluffy.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. To ensure proper rising without eggs, avoid overmixing the batter and make sure your baking powder or baking soda is fresh; this will help create lift in your loaf.
10. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
