Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 250 grams Spelt flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat)
• 60 milliliters Maple syrup
• 60 milliliters Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 60 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. A few small lumps are fine.

Step 3

Add the plant-based milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; mix just until no streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your delicious Vegan Spelt Banana Bread! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
