Vegan Low Sugar Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
* 1/2 cup coconut sugar
* 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 cup rolled oats
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 egg replacement (such as flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with water)
* Optional add-ins: walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, or cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, almond milk, coconut sugar, and melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Add the egg replacement and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
6. If using, add your preferred add-ins (walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, or cinnamon) and fold them into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
