BOMB Vegan Banana Bread

Now you all know that baking is not really my jam. I am much more of a meal maker but being home doing this quarantine time has inspired us to try to make own sweet treats at home without all the guilt. Since we are trying not to waste, we had 3 overripe bananas that normally I might toss but in an effort to be conscious about using all of our food, I went on Pinterest and found a vegan banana bread recipe that I adjusted to what we had in our pantry and then added a couple things that I thought would taste good and honestly it surprised us with how easy and yummy it was. If I can bake this, it is pretty much foolproof…hehe!

What You Need:

• 1/4 cup Almond Milk (sub any plant based milk)
• 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 3 very ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup Cane Sugar (or sub 1/3 cup Maple Syrup)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Coconut Oil (we use MCT oil)
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• Add a pinch of salt (we use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt)
• Dash of Nutmeg
• Dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Handful of Vegan Chocolate Chips if desired
• 2 cups of Flour (we use Gluten Free)

How To Make It:

1. In one bowl, add almond milk and apple cider vinegar. It will be making a vegan buttermilk essentially
2. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
3. In a second bowl, peel and mash bananas
   1. Add Cane Sugar
   2. Add Vanilla Extract
   3. Add Coconut Oil
   4. Add Baking Soda
   5. Add Cinnamon
4. Add Bowl One to Bowl  and mix
5. Add a dash of nutmeg and/or Pumpkin Pie Spice
6. Add a pinch of salt
7. Add in flour slowly as you mix until everything is fully mixed
8. If desired add in chocolate chips or nuts
9. Grease a small loaf pan and pour in batter
10. Depending on the size of pan, cooking time can be between 10-20 min
11. Check “done-ness” with toothpick to ensure it has baked all the way through

ENJOY!!!
