Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 4 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened vegan milk

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1¾ cups flour
  • ½-1 tsp cinnamon optional
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, or peanuts optional
  • ¼-½ cup chocolate chips optional

Toppings

  • chopped walnuts, hazelnuts or peanuts optional
  • chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a bread pan with oil on the bottom and all sides.
  • Mash the bananas in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the bananas and whisk until well combined.
  • Combine all of the dry ingredients in a larger bowl and whisk together.
  • Once the oven is preheated, combine the wet and dry ingredients together and mix together until just combined (no dry ingredients noticeable).
  • Pour the mixture into the bread pan and spread evenly. If using any optional toppings, gently press them into the top of the mixture.
  • Place the pan in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack (or eat immediately, as I often do!).
