5-ingredient vegan banana bread
This easy 5-ingredient vegan banana bread uses ripe bananas, sugar, oil, flour and baking powder. No eggs or dairy needed. Slice it for breakfast or enjoy it with your afternoon tea.
Ingredients
- 300 g (2 ½) Very ripe bananas
- 80 g (⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon) Superfine granulated sugar
- 60 ml (¼ cup) Avocado oil (any neutral oil)
- 200 g (1½ cup) All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350oF (180oC). Oil and line the loaf tin ( 8 × 4 inches – 20 × 10 cm) with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the sugar and mix until sugar dissolves.
- Add in the oil and mix.
- Add flour and baking powder. Mix just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix. Don’t beat the batter.
- Transfer batter into the tin and level the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. It’s ready when a skewer inserted into the center comes out without wet batter. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
- Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift onto a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy center.
