Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Overripe bananas
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 80 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the brown sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
