vegan banana bread

Ingredients

• 3 medium overripe bananas (Notes 1 and 2)
• ⅓ cup organic granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup organic brown sugar
• ⅓ cup canola oil (or your favorite baking oil)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt (Note 3)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans, vegan chocolate chips, or your favorite banana bread stir-in)

For Topping

• ¼ cup organic brown sugar

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Lightly oil a 9-inch loaf pan and arrange a strip of parchment paper width-wise along the center, with just a bit hanging out over each side.
• Peel the bananas and place them into a large mixing bowl. Mash them well with a fork or potato masher.
• Add sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until well-mixed.
• Add the flour to the bowl, then sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon and salt on top of the flour.
• Stir everything together just until mixed. Don't overmix. The batter will be thick.
• Fold in the walnuts.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
• Sprinkle the top with brown sugar.
• Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
• Slice and serve.
