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
