Vegan Banana Bread Recipe!

I've loved this recipe for quite some time, but I was never sure if I should share it or not since I don't even like banana bread but it's one of Kevin's favorite snacks (sometimes I think he lets banana's get over rip so I have to bake a loaf!) and one of my favorite things to bake. It's a super easy and quick recipe, you don't even need a mixer!

Vegan Banana Bread!

(based on the recipe from The Baking Bird)

3 very ripe bananas (nearly all brown)

1/4 cup cinnamon applesauce

1/4 cup canola oil

1/2 cup sucanat sugar

2 tablespoon molasses

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup white whole wheat flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas really well. Add the applesauce, oil, sugar and molasses, then whisk briskly to incorporate. Sift in the two different flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. If you're using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them at this point. Transfer the batter to the bread pan, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on the top.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. When done a knife or toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
