Banana Bread Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Bananas and Ingredients: Start by mashing your ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Gather all other ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for a seamless baking experience.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the vegetable oil, natural brown sugar, eggs, plant-based yogurt, and natural vanilla extract until smooth and well combined to create a luscious batter.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture to maintain fluffiness and even distribution.
  4. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, never wet batter.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the bread from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into warm, tender pieces.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Stir just until combined to avoid a tough bread.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even baking.
  • Check doneness starting at 50 minutes as ovens vary.
  • Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
