Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup vegan milk (e.g., almond, oat, soy)
• 0.25 cup neutral vegetable oil (e.g., canola, sunflower)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. A few small lumps are okay.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, vegan milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding the mixture gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; stir until just combined.

Step 6

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
