Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and serve the bread once it has cooled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
