Ingredients

• 3 large ripe banana
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 0.25 cups neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
• 0.5 cups optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil 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. Some small lumps are fine.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

If you're using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Only One Vegan Banana Bread as a delicious and guilt-free treat!
