One Bowl Vegan Banana Apple Bread
Description
One Bowl Vegan Banana Apple Bread mixes spelt and white whole wheat flours with standard white flour, baking powder and soda, and pumpkin pie spice for a mild spice note. The bananas and shredded apple add moisture and natural sweetness, while blackstrap molasses and nut butter contribute depth and help bind the batter. Non-dairy milk ensures the vegan nature of the bread. The dough includes optional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Baked in a parchment-lined loaf pan, the bread rises with a tender crumb and browns nicely. The recipe calls for baking first at 365°F for 40 minutes, then reducing heat to 350°F to finish baking until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, ensuring thorough cooking without dryness.
This loaf serves well sliced for breakfast or snacks, offering a moist texture and subtle fruit and spice flavors. Cooling fully before slicing helps retain its shape. It can be customized by varying the nuts or fruits, fitting different preferences and occasions.
