Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup apple sauce
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 flax eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup of add-in like vegan choc. chips or chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stand Mixer version:
  1. Use flat beater to beat raw bananas until they have a pureed texture.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat on low until mixture is a batter.
Other versions:
  1. Mash bananas into a puree using a fork.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until mixture is a batter.
  3. Pour batter into a loaf pan**Elana used a lo lightly greased with coconut oil. Cook for 50-60 minutes, until loaf is light brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  4. Serve warm topped with butter (or vegan butter).
  5. Keeps in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days or on the counter for 2-3 days, though best when fresh!

Notes

*Elana used a mini-loaf pan to create 4 loaves, but the cooking instructions are for a loaf pan that creates one loaf. If you use a loaf pan to create smaller loaves, keep in mind the cooking time will be shorter.
