Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons water
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup canola oil
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water. Stir and set aside for about 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the flaxseed mixture, brown sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and canola oil to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the banana nut bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
