Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, which will help the bread rise.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your vegan classic banana bread!
