Banana Bread

Talk about the loaf that works overtime! Banana bread makes the perfect breakfast, snack, dessert, and lunchbox treat!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: Vegan chocolate chips and/or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly oil a bread loaf pan.
  3. Pour the vinegar into the milk and let sit on the side. This makes vegan buttermilk.
  4. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add the oil, sugar, mashed banana, and vanilla to the buttermilk.
  6. Mix the wet and dry mixtures evenly combined, but just barely—some lumps are okay. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  7. Optional: Fold in chocolate chips and/or walnuts.
  8. Pour into the loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when you poke in the center.
