Vegan Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted, plus more for pan 

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan 

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed 

3/4 cup sugar 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk 

1 1/3  cups mashed very ripe bananas (from 3 large) 

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

Sprinkle flaxseed over 1/3 cup water. Let stand until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir to combine.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in oil, almond milk, flaxseed mixture, bananas, and vanilla.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Let bread cool in pan 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store tightly wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days, or freeze, up to 3 months.
