Banana Bread

Banana-Bread
The marvelous flavor of banana permeates this popular cake-like loaf. Spread with cream cheese, fruit butter, or nut butter for a teatime treat or to enjoy any time of the day.

Ingredients

 1 cup whole wheat flour
 1 cup unbleached white flour
 ¾ cup organic granulated sugar
 1 tablespoon baking powder
 ½ teaspoon baking soda
 1 teaspoon salt
 ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
 1 ½ cups mashed ripe banana
 ¼ cup plant-based milk soured with ½ teaspoon lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
 ½ cup chopped walnuts
 ½ cup chocolate morsels

Instructions

1

Assemble your ingredients. Preheat oven to 350ᵒ F.

2

In large mixing bowl, sift together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add optional ingredients if desired.

3

In a separate bowl, combine melted vegan butter, mashed banana, soured milk, and vanilla extract. Add to dry ingredients, mixing just until well moistened. Batter should be thick but not dry. Add a little more milk, if needed.

4

Turn at once into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Smooth top (dampening your fingers with water will help).

5

Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the top of the loaf comes out clean.

6

Let stand in pan 10 minutes, then remove from pan and place on a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing.

Note : If using a glass loaf pan, reduce the temperature to 325° F to avoid over-browning. Also, start checking it at 45 minutes.
