Ingredients

• 3 medium to large extra ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ⅓ cup mashed banana)
• 1/3 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
• ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons dairy free milk of choice
• 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour (or sub whole wheat pastry flour, white whole wheat flour or chickpea flour for a GF option)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan.
2. In a large bowl mix together the mashed banana, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract and milk to a bowl until well combined.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Feel free to fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or ½ cup chocolate chips (or both!) if you’d like.
4. Add banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
