Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup plant-based milk
• 0.25 cup neutral-flavored oil (e.g., vegetable or coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)
• 0.5 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, plant-based milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts, pecans, or vegan chocolate chips at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
