THE BEST VEGAN BANANA BREAD WITH WALNUTS
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ripe organic bananas* (about 14-15oz or 390g peeled)
- 1 and 1/2 cups organic all purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch of nutmeg
- a pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar, or organic brown sugar
- 1/4 cup refined coconut oil, melted
- 3 Tablespoons chopped walnut pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF, greasing your bread pan (or line with parchment paper) and chopping your walnuts into smaller pieces.
- In a medium bowl, sift together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Make sure not to leave any big chunks. Small chunks are fine though.
- Add the sugar and oil to the bananas and mix until evenly combined.
- Once the oil and sugar are incorporated, gently fold in the dry ingredients just enough for everything to come together.
- Now, gently fold in your walnut pieces or other additives
- Pour the batter into your prepared bread pan.
- Bake at 350ºF for 30-40 minutes, then test the bread with a toothpick for doneness. (it should come out clean) If the bread is still too moist bake at 5 minute intervals until done.
ENJOY!
NOTES
*I suggest weighing the bananas for best results.
*If your batter is dry slowly incorporate 1/4 cup non-dairy milk. You can also add the non-dairy milk to the wet ingredients if your bananas seem dry after mashing.
*When measuring the flour, use a spoon to scoop it into the measuring cup. Scooping the flour with the measuring cup can cause too much flour to be added.
*Store in an airtight container or bag to keep fresh for up to 3 days on the counter or a week in the fridge.
