Equipment
- Mixing bowls For combining the wet and dry ingredients separately.
- Loaf Pan (9x5 inches) For baking the banana bread.
- Fork or Potato Masher To mash the ripe bananas.
- Measuring cups and spoons For accurate ingredient measurements.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil
- ½ cup Non-Dairy Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas in a bowl, then mix in coconut oil, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then fold in chia seeds or flax seeds.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool before serving.
Notes
- Bananas: Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness. Overripe bananas will provide the moisture needed for a soft, moist bread.
- Flour Substitutes: For a gluten-free version, you can substitute whole wheat flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. However, the texture may change slightly.
- Sweeteners: Maple syrup is used in this recipe as a natural sweetener, but you can substitute it with honey or agave syrup. Adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Egg Substitute: If you don't have chia or flax seeds, you can try using store-bought egg replacers or simply omit them, though the texture may be slightly different.
- Baking Time: Baking times can vary based on your oven and loaf pan size. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the bread is done.
- Add-ins: Customize your banana bread with optional ingredients like nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips, but note that they will increase the calorie count.
- Storage: Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze slices for up to 2 months for later enjoyment.
