Ingredients
- 1.75 cups whole wheat white flour see notes
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 medium extra ripe bananas equal to 2 cups mashed very well, plus one more for slicing
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar of choice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, add 2 cups very well mashed bananas and sugar, whisk until combined. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, whisking until completely smooth.
- Combine: Add wet ingredients to large bowl of dry ingredients, gently folding in until JUST combined. Batter will be thick and heavy. Avoid over-working the batter, as that will result in a tough bread.
- Add to pan: Pour batter into prepared loaf tin. Scatter some banana slices throughout the top of the loaf, gently pushing into the surface (optional).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until inserted toothpick in center is clean. Cover top of bread loosely with foil at 35 minutes, to avoid the top from getting too dark. Allow bread to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- FLOUR: You can use 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour with similar results. You can also sub 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. Whole wheat pastry flour may also be subbed, but I would add an additional 2 tablespoons.
- SUGAR: If you'd like a slightly sweeter bread, bump up the sugar to 3/4 cup. Or if your bananas aren't very ripe, you may want more granulated sugar.
- STORAGE: Store bread in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days. OR, bread may be stored in fridge for longer. Freeze cooled banana bread loaf by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Baked bread should keep about 2-3 months.
