Description
This delicious, dairy-free, and oil-free banana bread is made with whole wheat flour and packed with sweet banana flavor! It’s fluffy, moist, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1.75 cups whole wheat white flour (see notes)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 4 medium extra ripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed, plus one for slicing)
- ½ cup coconut sugar (or granulated sugar of choice)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF and spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir well and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash 2 cups of very ripe bananas until smooth. Add coconut sugar (or your choice of sugar), whisking to combine. Add the eggs, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold together until JUST combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Add to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Optionally, scatter sliced bananas on top of the batter, gently pressing them into the surface.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover the top loosely with foil at the 35-minute mark to prevent it from getting too dark.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a handful of walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
