Made with wholesome ingredients like ripe bananas, flaxseed meal, and whole wheat flour, this bread is moist, flavorful, and easy to make. It's a great way to use up overripe bananas and satisfy your sweet tooth without any guilt.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk

  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flaxseed meal.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
