Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 60 milliliters plant-based milk
- 60 milliliters coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf tin or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the brown sugar, plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully 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. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
