Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated vegan cane sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown vegan cane sugar
  • 6 tablespoons vegan butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup original almond milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups ripe bananas, mashed until smooth (about 3–4 large bananas)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and lightly flour a dark 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk or sift together:
    Flour
    Baking powder
    Baking soda
    Salt
    Cinnamon
    Granulated sugar
    Brown sugar
    Mix until evenly combined.

  3. Add the Wet Ingredients

    Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
    Add:
    Softened vegan butter
    Canola oil
    Almond milk
    Vanilla extract
    Gently stir until the flour is almost incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

  4. Fold in the Bananas

    Add the mashed ripe bananas and gently fold them into the batter until just combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.

  5. Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    Bake for 65–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
    If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil during the last 15–20 minutes of baking.

  6. Cool

    Remove from the oven and brush the top with melted vegan butter if desired for a softer crust and beautiful finish.
    Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
