Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil ((I use avocado oil. You can also substitute vegan butter))
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 4 very ripe bananas
  • 3/4 cup walnuts ((or pecans, lightly toasted, then chopped))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C. Oil an 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and flax meal in a bowl.
  • Add apple cider vinegar, applesauce and mashed bananas to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined and there's no dry flour in the bowl.
  • Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly with a spoon or spatula. If using a banana to decorate the top slice it lengthwise into three slices, then halve each slice. Arrange on top of the loaf.
  • Bake the banana loaf about 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Place the banana bread on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes, then unmold and let cool completely on the rack.
