Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour (can substitute whole wheat or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) neutral oil (canola or refined coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some lumps remaining.
  3. Add the neutral oil, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk gently to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if using), brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped nuts if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  9. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not skip the apple cider vinegar as it reacts with baking soda to give the bread lift and lightness. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough bread. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Frozen bananas thawed to room temperature work well.
