Shane and simple best vegan banana bread



Wet Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas (the riper, the better)

  • ½ cup maple syrup

  • ⅓ cup unsweetened apple sauce

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ tsp. baking powder

  • ½ tsp. cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or use a nonstick loaf pan.

  2. Place the bananas in a medium or large bowl and mash using a fork or potato masher. The bananas do not have to be completely smooth, it’s ok to have some small chunks for texture. Now, add in all the remaining wet ingredients with the mashed bananas and mix until everything is well combined.

  3. To a separate bowl add in all the dry ingredients and whiskthem together. Then add to the wet and mix until everything is "just" combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. Think "pancake batter" consistency. A little thick with some lumps.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. The banana bread is done once you insert a knife or toothpick and it comes out clean. Keep in mind all appliances are different so cooking time can vary several minutes one way or the other.
