Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cups overripe bananas (~3 large bananas)
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar, vegan
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk (we use soy milk)
  • 2 cups self-rising flour, spooned and leveled (*see notes for substitutions)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 10x5 bread pan and line a piece of parchment paper in the center for easier removal (see photos in the blog post above).
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add the bananas and mash until pureed. Measure out exactly 1 ⅓ cup.
  • To the bananas, add melted coconut oil and brown sugar and mix until well combined. Add the plant-based milk and mix again.
  • Gently fold in the self-rising flour using a spoon or a spatula. Stop mixing the moment you see that there are no big chunks of flour and the batter is just combined!
  • Pour the batter into the greased bread pan and bake for 40 minutes. After that, check the bread to see if it's getting too brown on top and needs to be covered with foil. Cover with aluminum foil if needed and continue baking for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread rest in the pan for exactly 5 minutes, then remove. Let it cool completely before slicing (about 1-2 hours).

Notes

Storage 
Fridge: Let banana bread cool completely. Transfer into an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Let banana bread cool completely. Transfer into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 months. If you want to freeze it in slices, I suggest layering parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking. No need to thaw before reheating.
Reheat
Oven: Pre-heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Add banana bread slices to a baking pan and bake for 10-15 minutes or until warm.
Microwave: Add banana bread slices to a microwave-safe plate in a single layer. Microwave for 30 seconds or until warm.
Toaster: Add banana bread slices into the toaster and toast for 1-2 minutes or until warm.
*If you don't have self-rising flour on hand you can make your own by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
**Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients, and with soy milk. The calories are calculated for 1 piece of banana bread.
