Equipment
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 large ripe bananas mashed
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C. Line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk both of the flours, baking powder, baking soda, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl until well combined, set aside.
- In a separate bowl mix all remaining ingredients, except the walnuts until combined.
- Add the chopped walnuts and wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold together until just combined. Do not over mix the batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes.
- The cake is ready when an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Cover the banana bread with foil after cooking for 30 minutes if it’s beginning to brown too quickly.
- Banana loaf can be sliced and frozen for up to 2 months.
- Optional add-ins: chopped dates, chocolate chips or slivered almonds.
- Any plant based milk can be used in this recipe.
- Coconut oil can be substituted with neutral flavored oil or melted vegan butter.
- Be sure to use ripe bananas as they are much sweeter and mash easily.
- Coconut sugar can be substituted with brown sugar.
- Do not over mix the batter as this will result in a dense, chewy cake.
