Vegan Cinnamon Banana Bread Recipe
Servings: 1 large loaf or 8-10 muffins
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup vegan butter or margarine, melted (such as Earth Balance)
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 large egg replacement (such as Ener-G Egg Replacer or flax eggs *)
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, brown sugar, melted vegan butter or margarine, and egg replacement. Stir until smooth.
4. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. If using nuts, fold them into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan or muffin tin.
8. Bake for:
* Loaf: 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
* Muffins: 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cooking Times:
* Loaf: 55-60 minutes
* Muffins: 20-25 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 70-80 minutes
Variations:
* Add a hint of coffee by replacing 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder.
* Spice it up by adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom or 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
* Make it a gingerbread-inspired treat by adding 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
* Use different types of sugar, such as coconut sugar or date sugar, for a unique flavor profile.
* Add a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of the bread before baking for an extra-special touch.
Tips and Notes:
* For flax eggs, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken before using in the recipe.
* If using nuts, be sure to toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned, before chopping and adding to the batter.
* Store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3 days or wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
