Vegan Banana Bread Recipe With Simple Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 overripe bananas mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
- ½ cup organic granulated sugar
- ¼ cup organic brown sugar
- ½ cup canola oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts optional but highly recommended for a crunch!
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat And Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mash The Bananas
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas using a fork until smooth. Leave a few chunks if you like a little texture in your bread.
Step 3: Mix The Wet Ingredients
- Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Step 4: Combine The Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
Step 5: Mix Wet And Dry
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want a thick, lumpy batter.
Step 6: Add Walnuts (Optional)
- Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
Step 7: Bake
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
Step 8: Cool
- Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Then take out the banana bread from the pan and keep it cool until completely before cutting it.
