Vegan Banana Bread
Serves 10
This vegan banana bread recipe is moist, warmly spiced, and full of sweet banana flavor! It's a delicious breakfast or snack. Leftovers freeze well!
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed (1 cup)
- ½ cup cane sugar, brown sugar, or coconut sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil, melted coconut oil, or extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, see note*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Topping
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1½ tablespoons whole rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and brush a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in the walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and oats.
- Bake for 42 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Notes
*A previous version of this recipe called for 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 cup almond flour. Feel free to use that combination instead of the all-purpose flour if you prefer.
I think a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend would also work here. King Arthur's is my go-to.
