For the Bread
  • 3 large Ripe Bananas Natural sweetness and moisture; substitute with applesauce for a different texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Banana Nut Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth. Add melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gradually fold into the wet banana mixture until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
