Vegan Banana Bread
I have to admit I’m suffering from a big chunk of writers block at the moment. My life consists mainly of working, going to drama rehearsals, eating, sleeping, and then repeating all that, so writing fun and insightful intros to the world of vegan banana bread is not high on my to do list right now. Essentially all I can say is that (like most recipes on here) it tastes insane, is so so easy to make, and has the added bonus of being the perfect way of using up slightly beyond-their-best bananas!
Recipe
Makes 1 loaf
Time: 10 minutes prep, 40 minutes baking
Ingredients
- 3 Very ripe bananas
- 75ml Vegetable oil
- 100g Light brown sugar
- 225g Plain flour
- 3 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C. Line a 2lb loaf tin with butter and baking paper, or one of those easy-to-use liners.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl with a fork until it’s a puree. Add the oil and sugar and mix in until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon and mix in again until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the cake tin and then bake in the oven for about 40 minutes until golden brown, risen and so that a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. (Cover the top with tin foil if it starts to burn before being cooked all the way through!).
- Leave to cool a little before serving!
Why not try:
- Adding a handful of chocolate chips to the batter when you add the flour
- Substituting in 1 tbsp Peanut butter instead of 1 tbsp of the oil to make a banana peanut banana loaf
- Adding fruit and nuts (like raisins and brazil nuts) to the batter
Thanks for reading!
