Vegan Whole Wheat Bourbon Banana Bread Recipe 455 Food

THE BEST VEGAN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Lightly oil a 9-inch loaf pan and arrange a strip of parchment paper width-wise along the center, with just a bit hanging out over each side.
• Peel the bananas and place them into a large mixing bowl. Mash them well with a fork or potato masher.
• Add sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until well-mixed.
• Add the flour to the bowl, then sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon and salt on top of the flour.
• Stir everything together just until mixed. Don't overmix. The batter will be thick.
• Fold in the walnuts.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
• Sprinkle the top with brown sugar.
• Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
• Slice and serve.

THE BEST VEGAN BANANA BREAD YOU'LL EVER EAT

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan with parchment paper and grease the inside of the pan to prevent sticking. If you use a larger loaf pan, such as a 9x5, please know your bread will be much thinner and will take less time to cook.
• In a large bowl mix together the mashed banana, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract and milk to a bowl until well combined.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it's totally fine if there are some lumps of banana, etc. Feel free to fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or ½ cup chocolate chips (or both!) if you'd like.
• Add banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
• Once bread is cool, cut into 10 slices. Serve with nut butter spread on top for a healthy snack or breakfast on the go.

WHOLE-WHEAT BOURBON PECAN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly spray oil on the inside of 2 loaf pans (8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2"). Place some parchment paper in the bottom of pans if you have it. If not, don't worry about it. You can also use a cake pan but the loaf pans work better.
• Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl.
• In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the butter, sugar, eggs, pecans, and bourbon.
• Add the combined dry ingredients into the large bowl and hand stir just until the batter is blended (try not to over stir).
• Pour batter equally into the two loaf pans.
• Bake for 60-70 minutes until the loaves pass the toothpick test.
• Let the loaves cool for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack to finish cooling. If you used the parchment paper, they will roll out of the pans with no difficulty.
• Slice and serve. This bread is tasty all by itself but it can also be spread with butter, cream, jam, or whatever your favorite topping happens to be.

VEGAN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash 3 large black peeled bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75g vegetable or sunflower oil and 100g brown sugar.
• Add 225g plain flour, 3 heaped tsp baking powder and 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice, and combine well. Add 50g dried fruit or nuts, if using.
• Bake in an oiled, lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes. Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning.
• Bake for another 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Allow to cool a little before slicing. It's delicious freshly baked, but develops a lovely gooey quality the day after.
