Ingredients
Scale
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plant-based milk (like almond milk)
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
Add the plant-based milk, melted oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon directly to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
If you prefer a spice twist, add 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
This bread freezes well; wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
