This recipe is easy to whip up and perfect for both novice bakers and seasoned pros looking for a healthier treat.

Ingredients:

4 bananas
470g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
4 tbsp water
60g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
2 cups whole-grain wheat flour
240g
1 tsp baking powder
4.60g
1/2 tsp coconut oil
2.25g
1/2 tsp salt
3g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan lightly with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this step.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the sugar, water, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-grain wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure that they are evenly distributed.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Add Coconut Oil: Stir in the coconut oil until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
9. Cool: Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and Serve: Once the bread is cooled, slice it into pieces and serve. Enjoy your moist and delicious vegan banana bread!

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas: Ensure your bananas are very ripe, even overripe. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.

- Don’t overmix the batter: Mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in dense and tough banana bread.

- Add nuts or chocolate chips: For extra texture and flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips to the batter.

- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the bread is done. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.

- Store properly: Store your banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. It also freezes well for longer storage.

Now you have a delightful vegan banana bread that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. Whether you enjoy it plain or with a smear of vegan butter, this moist and delicious banana bread is sure to become a favorite in your household.
