Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/3 cup plant-based chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bananas and dry ingredients: Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to distribute evenly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Add vegetable oil, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined into a smooth mixture.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture. Mix gently until no flour streaks remain. Fold in any optional nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  4. Bake to perfection: Pour batter into a lined or greased loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread.
  • Start checking for doneness at 50 minutes as oven times vary.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone liners for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Let the bread cool fully before slicing for neat cuts.
