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...
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius), and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil.
- If solid, let the 1/3 cup coconut oil warm to room temperature (or put in microwave for about 10 seconds).
- 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.)
- Add baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok!
- 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.
- 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.
