Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas with brown spots (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips (optional)
  • Spices: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, pinch of cloves (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)
  • Flaxseed meal mixed with warm water as egg replacer for vegan variation (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and ensure bananas are ripe and soft. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining for texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add vegetable oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  6. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in chopped walnuts, plant-based chocolate chips, spices, or blueberries carefully into the batter.
  7. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum moisture and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Check your oven temperature for even baking to avoid dryness.
  • Using plant-based milk adds extra moisture and complements the soft texture.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
