The Best Vegan Banana Bread
Soft, fluffy and full of flavour, this recipe is the best vegan banana bread I have made! www.ayurvedawithrebecca.comEffect on Doshas: VP-K+
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas ((approx 2 large bananas))
- 1 cup almond milk ((or any milk of choice))
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil ((melted))
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 /2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp mineral salt
- 1 small handful pecans ((or any nut of choice for topping))
- 1 medium banana ((sliced lengthwise for topping))
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a loaf tin with baking paper
- Mash the bananas thoroughly and combine with the other wet ingredients (almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract)
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt)
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until combined
- Then, add to the loaf tin and top with pecans and banana sliced lengthwise
- Bake for 45 minutes (ovens may vary slightly - ensure a toothpick is removed clean)
- Cool for 15 minutes on a cooling rack still in the tin, and then 15 minutes removed from the tin before slicing
Notes
- Make sure the bananas are very ripe (brown spots all over the skin)
- In this recipe, I used the pecans as a garnish only to keep the soft, fluffy texture of the banana breadÂ
- If you prefer a crunchier banana bread, add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of chopped nuts with the dry ingredients
- Alternatively, if you are looking for a sweeter banana bread, add chocolate chips instead!
