Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth but with a few small lumps remaining. This adds lovely texture!
3
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine until everything is nicely incorporated.
4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
6
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
7
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
8
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and the edges slightly pulled away from the pan.
9
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slicing it warm is tempting, but letting it cool fully makes for cleaner slices and better flavor development!
10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy every cozy bite!

Pro Tips

Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.

Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.

Serving Suggestions

Serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Pair with a scoop of your favorite vegan ice cream. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vegan chocolate sauce for a finishing touch. This serves 8, making it ideal for dinner parties or potlucks.
