• Egg-free and dairy-free: Perfect for those following a vegan lifestyle or with dietary restrictions.
• Moist and fluffy texture: The ripe bananas add natural moisture, so no heavy oils or fats needed.

• Versatile flavor: Banana pairs beautifully with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or add nuts for crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas (medium-sized, mashed)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for warm spice)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted, or use vegan butter)
• 1/4 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave nectar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture

Equipment

• Mixing bowls (medium and large)
• Fork or potato masher
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Cooling rack
• Spatula or wooden spoon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
3. Add the melted coconut oil, plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly distributed.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
6. If you’re using nuts, fold them in now.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Re-roll scraps as needed.
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven and transfer biscuits to a cooling rack. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

“For extra fluffy biscuits, make sure your baking powder is fresh and don’t overmix the dough.”

• Banana ripeness: Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
• Flour swap: Try half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste and added fiber.
• Sweetness tweak: Adjust the maple syrup amount depending on how sweet you want your biscuits.
• Spice it up: Add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cardamom for a fragrant twist.
• Mix-ins: Try vegan chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut for variety.
• Gluten-free option: Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and check for baking powder suitability.
