Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mash 3 very ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth, then whisk in coconut sugar, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. In another bowl, mix oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  4. Fold in vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips and walnuts on top.
  6. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
