Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe banana
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 0.25 cups neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 cups optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Some small lumps are fine.
Add the brown sugar, neutral oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
If you're using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your Only One Vegan Banana Bread as a delicious and guilt-free treat!
