Description

When you take the time to make banana bread, you want it to be moist, flavorful, and delicious. And so do I! Not only will this recipe meet your expectations, but it will also surprise you at how easy it comes together.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (ground)
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 tablespoons vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. 1
    loaf of banana bread

    Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the ground chia seeds and cold water. Stir until smooth. The mixture will be thick and goopy (similar to an egg).

  3. 3

    Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the chia seed mixture. Continue mixing for 1 to 2 minutes more.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Stir in the milk.

  5. 5

    Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.

  6. 6

    Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined.

  7. 7

    Add the dry ingredients, mixing just until the flour disappears.

  8. 8

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Loosely place a piece of foil over the top of the pan after 1 hour if extra baking time is needed).

  9. 9

    Cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes. Shake the pan gently to loosen it, then remove the bread and let it cool completely before slicing.
