Banana Bread

Talk about the loaf that works overtime! Banana bread makes the perfect breakfast, snack, dessert, and lunchbox treat!

Ingredients

  • 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) plant milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 240 grams (2 cups) plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (bread soda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) sunflower oil
  • 150 grams (3/4 cup) brown sugar
  • 225 grams (1 cup) mashed ripe banana
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Vegan chocolate chips and/or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Lightly oil a bread loaf pan.
  3. Pour the vinegar into the milk and let sit on the side. This makes vegan buttermilk.
  4. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add the oil, sugar, mashed banana, and vanilla to the buttermilk.
  6. Mix the wet and dry mixtures evenly combined, but just barely—some lumps are okay. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  7. Optional: Fold in chocolate chips and/or walnuts.
  8. Pour into the loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when you poke in the center.
