Ingredients

• 3 large Overripe bananas
• 210 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 60 milliliters Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 80 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
