You will feel like a billion bucks after getting your potassium, carbohydrates, and natural-sugar rush after imbibing this delicious and ridiculously easy-to-make bread. This bread tastes divine with a slab of Pumpkin or Apple Butter gobbed on top, but Earth Balance, Marmalade, or nothing at all is perfection too. And talk about a good hangover food… nothing is yummier. Seriously, a 3rd grader could do this. And you’ll impress everyone with your “baking” skills to boot. Plus, this is the kind of recipe where a few of the ingredients are optional. Note the ** next to certain ingredients and that means they are not necessary to produce a still-yummo bread. And it goes without saying that we recommend all ingredients be organic, cuz duh… who wants to ingest chemicals and toxins when they don’t have to?!
The Simplest And Most Delicious Banana Bread Recipe Ever!
Banana Bread
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour (other flours works too, we just prefer whole wheat)
- 2 teaspoons Rumsford baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt **
- 6 tablespoons of apple juice concentrate
- 2 cups mashed bananas (takes approx 4 mashed bananas)
- 2 tablespoons of canola or coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract **
- equivalent of 2 or 3 Eggs (I use Ener-G, 5 tablespoon water + 3 1/2 teaspoon powder) **
- 1/3 cup soy/rice/almond/hemp milk ** (Some folks prefer “buttermilk” in this recipe. To make buttermilk, combine 1 cup soymilk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar.)
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried berries or vegan chocolate chips of your choice **
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix bananas, and all wet ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine the banana mixture with the large bowl containing dry ingredients, and stir well. Add the nuts, if you are doing nuts/ dry berries, and stir well again.
- Pour into a greased (we spray coconut oil out of a small spray bottle, but non-stick cooking spray is fine too) 9×5 inch bread pan.
- Bake in 325 degree oven for about an hour, or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.
- Take out of the oven with oven mutts and allow to cool. Then slice it and pig out.
