Are you ready to bake the most delicious and guilt-free banana bread? This Non-Dairy Banana Bread recipe is not only incredibly moist but also naturally sweetened with Leaner Creamer Coconut Sugar. Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting out, this easy recipe is perfect for everyone!
Ingredients:
Wet Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or non-dairy butter)
- 1/2 cup Leaner Creamer Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (almond or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for topping or mix-in)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Loaf Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flour.
4. Bring It All Together:
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—overmixing can make your bread dense. If you’re using walnuts, fold them in now.
5. Bake to Perfection:
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle walnuts on top for extra texture. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Enjoy:
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and enjoy!
Tips for Success:
- Use Overripe Bananas: The riper, the better! They’ll add natural sweetness and moisture to your bread.
- Customize Your Mix-Ins: Not a fan of walnuts? Try chocolate chips, raisins, or shredded coconut for a different twist.
- Don’t Skip the Cooling Step: Letting the bread cool completely ensures it holds its shape and enhances its flavor.
