BANANA BREAD
Vegan, gluten free, dairy free
Recipe by Jentry Lee Hull adapted from family recipe and The Minimalist Baker
Yields 12 muffins or 2 small loaves
BANANA BREAD INGREDIENTS
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 Tbsp. plant milk
- 1 tsp. apple cider or white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. ground flax meal
- 6 Tbsp. water
- 1 Tbsp. melted coconut oil, optional
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup or date paste, optional
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond meal (ground from raw, unsalted almonds)
- 1 cup oat flour (ground from gluten free rolled oats)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. pink salt
BANANA BREAD DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line muffin tins with muffin papers or 2 small bread pans with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas.
- In a small dish combine plant milk with vinegar. Let sit for a couple minutes then add to mashed banana mixture.
- In the same small dish (used for the plant milk) whisk together flax meal and water. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until consistency becomes gelatinous ( like a flax “egg”).
- Incorporate flax egg, coconut oil, maple syrup (if using) and vanilla extract. Mix together until creamy.
- Incorporate almond meal, oat flour, baking soda and pink salt in with wet ingredients.
- Using a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop banana bread mixture into muffin cups.
- Bake for 23-35 minutes at 350, or until muffins are cooked through. Test with a toothpick in the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, remove from oven and let cool for 20-30 minutes.
