  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas (or substitute applesauce or pumpkin)
  • 1½ cups gluten-free flour blend (or oat + almond flour mix)
  • ½ cup plant-based milk (such as coconut or soy milk)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (or agave or date syrup)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or olive oil or vegan butter)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or almond extract)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional; or use nutmeg or allspice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mash bananas in a large bowl. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and plant milk. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gently mix wet and dry ingredients together. Add apple cider vinegar last. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm with almond butter, chilled with dairy-free yogurt, or toasted with tea. Can be frozen for longer storage. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the texture light and moist.
