AuthorMarvelDifficultyBeginnerSet your oven to warm up to 350°F (175°C). Either lightly oil or line a 9x5 inch baking tin with baking paper.
In a spacious bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optionally, cinnamon.
In a different bowl, blend the oil, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla. Integrate the mashed bananas until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually mix the liquid blend into the dry components. Stir gently until they're just combined, avoiding over-stirring. If you're adding nuts or chocolate chips, now's the time to fold them in.
Pour the mixture into the baking tin, ensuring an even spread. Bake in the oven for 55 – 65 minutes. It's ready when a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean or with minimal crumbs.
Post baking, let the bread cool in the tin for around 15 minutes. Then, shift it to a cooling rack.
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enhance with vegan butter or your favorite jam for added flavor.
Handy Hints & Expert Advice:
- Quick Ripening: If your bananas are still a bit green, pop them in a brown paper bag overnight to hasten ripening.
- Storing: Keep the bread in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For extended freshness, consider refrigeration or freezing.
- Twists & Turns: Experiment with add-ins like coconut shreds, a variety of dried fruits, or even a ribbon of vegan nut spread for a unique taste.
- For Extra Moisture: Add a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water, rest for 10 minutes) to the liquid components for a moister texture.
