Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or any neutral oil
  • 3/4 cup organic brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (can substitute with all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, vegan chocolate chips, or dried cranberries

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls (large and medium size)
  • Fork or potato masher for mashing bananas
  • Whisk or spoon for mixing
  • 9×5 inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth with some small lumps remaining.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir everything together until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix, or the bread can become dense.
  6. If using, fold in your optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips at this stage.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips & Variations

“For extra moist banana bread, use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots. If you want a sweeter bread, add a splash of maple syrup or agave nectar to the batter.”

Feel free to customize your loaf by trying one or more of these variations:

  • Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Chocolate Lover’s: Stir in 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.
  • Berry Twist: Mix 1/2 cup fresh or dried cranberries or blueberries.
  • Spiced Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger for more warmth.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute whole wheat flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
