Servings: 8–10 slices
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50–60 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or any neutral oil)
• 1/4 cup plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free flour blend)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

1. Prepare Wet Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil, plant-based milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

1. Bake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
• Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
