Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium overripe bananas mashed like your love life
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or any neutral oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar sweetens both the bread and your mood
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk almond, oat, soy—choose your alt milk fantasy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional but fancy
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour use gluten-free if you're into that
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon because flavor matters
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips you rebel

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your loaf pan like an adult who owns parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add melted oil, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until your arm says "no more."
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix like you're sifting out your emotional baggage.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures. Stir gently—this isn't CrossFit. Fold in nuts or chips if you're feeling wild.
  5. Pour the batter into your pan. Smooth the top like a pro.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes. Insert toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready to rule the brunch table.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes before removing. Resist eating it straight out of the pan. Or don’t. No judgment.
