Non-dairy Banana Bread

  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (should be liquid -- warm in microwave for a few seconds if solid)
  • ½ cup maple syrup 
  • 2 tbsp. ground flax mixed with 6 tbsp. water (or 2 eggs beaten) 
  • 200-225g mashed ripe bananas (1 cup, about 2½ medium or 2 large bananas) 
  • ¼ cup water 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • ½ teaspoon salt 
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 1¾ cups white whole wheat flour
  • Totally optional: ½ cup mix-ins like chopped walnuts or pecans, chocolate chips, raisins, chopped dried fruit, fresh banana slices... 

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius), and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil. 
  2. If solid, let the 1/3 cup coconut oil warm to room temperature (or put in microwave for about 10 seconds). 
  3. In a large bowl, mix together oil, maple syrup, eggs, banana, and milk. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.) 
  4. Add baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! 
  5. Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
  6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
