Vegan Low Fat Banana Bread Recipes

VEGAN BANANA BREAD (HEALTHY + EASY)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your loaf pan.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, mash 3 - 4 bananas (about 1 1/2 cups to 1 3/4 cups works well), add oil/applesauce and vanilla extract, mix again. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and mix well, but don't overmix, just enough until the flour is combined. Batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is ok. If mixture seems too thick, add milk, especially if using heavier flours such as whole wheat or whole spelt (you're more inclined to need it).
• Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake for about 50 min - 1 hour. Ovens vary, mine usually takes 50 minutes. You can also do the toothpick test in the center of the loaf, if it comes out clean it should be ready. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 min before slicing.
