Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy I used soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 medium ripe bananas about 1 and ⅓ cups or 300 grams mashed
  • cup neutral flavored oil I used canola oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF or 180ºC and prepare an 8x4-inch (20x10 cm) loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with vegan butter or coconut oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes until it thickens and curdles.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth with a fork or potato masher.
  • Add the wet ingredients (thickened milk mixture, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract) and mix well.
  • Then add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) and stir until the batter is smooth.
  • If using chocolate chips, add them to the batter and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Bake the banana bread for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely, or for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the better! Look for bananas with brown spots on the skin for optimal flavor.
  • Don't overmix. Overmixing the batter can result in dense and tough bread. Mix until just combined.
  • Measure accurately. Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients for the perfect consistency and flavor.
  • Let it cool. Let your banana bread cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds its shape and doesn't crumble.
  • Use parchment paper. It makes removing the banana bread easier and reduces the risk of sticking.
