Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cups (320 g) mashed very ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons (15 g) ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons (10 mL) pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (60 g) coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup (50 g) rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups (210 g) light/white spelt flour or whole-grain spelt flour
- Sliced banana, chopped walnuts, and/or chocolate chips, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with oil and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the banana until almost smooth, aiming for 1 1/3 cups.
- Stir the ground flaxseed, milk, melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla into the banana until combined.
- Stir the coconut sugar, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour into the wet mixture, one by one, in the order listed. Stop stirring when you see no flour patches at the bottom of the bowl.
- Spoon the dough into the loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Add your desired toppings and gently press them into the dough to stick.
- Bake the loaf, uncovered, for 45 to 55 minutes, until lightly golden and firm on top. The top should spring back slightly when touched.
- Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Slide a knife around the loaf to loosen it and gently remove it from the pan, placing it directly onto the cooling rack until completely cooled.
- Slice the loaf once cooled. Spread with vegan butter or coconut oil if desired.
Notes
- You can swap melted vegan butter for the coconut oil.
- If you do not have maple syrup, swap in another 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar; the loaf will be slightly less moist.
- Coconut sugar can probably be swapped for natural cane sugar.
- If you use whole-grain spelt flour and it is coarse, sift it before use for better results.
