Dear reader, this is seriously the best banana bread I have ever made. I am so excited to share this recipe with you because it turned out amazingly! 🙂

I’ve been interested in baking lately so I went to Whole Foods and picked up some ingredients to make this delicious vegan banana bread. Here are the ingredients that you will need:

• 2 + 1/2 ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 cup spelt flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. almond milk
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup walnuts

1) Mash 2 and a half bananas – set aside

2) Combine coconut oil, coconut sugar, flour, baking soda, maple syrup, cinnamon and almond milk in a large mixing bowl

3) Add mashed bananas and stir until combined

4) Add chopped walnuts and dairy free chocolate chips

5) It should look something like this 🙂

6) Line a loaf pan with coconut oil and/or parchment paper

7) Fill and garnish the top – I added more chocolate chips, walnuts and the other half of the banana

8) Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake for 35-40 minutes

9) Cool completely before cutting and serving

10) Enjoy
