Coziest Banana Bread
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plant milk of your choice oat, cashew, almond, hemp, rice…
- 6 Tbsp. olive oil butter, ghee, expeller-pressed coconut oil
- 6 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups mashed ripe bananas approximately 5 medium bananas
- 2 cups whole spelt flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. fine sea salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts + seeds I used walnuts, pecans, and pumpkin seeds
- ¾ cup / 100g chopped dark chocolate
- flaky sea salt for garnish if desired
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line an 8” x 8” cake pan or loaf pan with baking paper, or lightly oil and dust with flour, shaking out excess.
- Put the milk, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and bananas in a blender and blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Add banana mixture and combine using as few strokes as possible. Fold in nuts and chocolate.
- Pour into a cake pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with flaky salt (if using). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and is very dark, dark brown. The time varies greatly according to oven, ingredients, and location – mine takes about any where between 45 mins and 2 hours. Check at 45 mins and then regularly after that. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
