Vegan Banana Bread - Super Easy - mixes in ten minutes in one bowl - No eggs or dairy

I make two at a a time because my guys eat it up in no time.

There are step-by-step pictures at the link.

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.

... if I hadn't just spent the last week eating two loaves of the same (I opt for raisins and walnuts). 🤪

My recipe is pretty much the same and never fails. I also like to make it more portable by baking into muffins. We also love to make a similar recipe but with carrots--though there are never extra, quickly- aging carrots to use up like there are bananas. 😏

But I live in a house of nut haters!

Do you have to cook and purée the carrots first before adding them to the batter?

I just run them through a hand-cranked grater or the mandoline and chuck ‘em in.

Sympathies for the nut haters in your house. I’d make one loaf the way I like it and smirk at them when you still have your treat to eat and their loaf is long gone.
