Why is that? I don’t know, but I’m joining the Vegan Banana Bread Club today. This recipe is one that I’ve been using for almost 14 years – it used to contain Eggs back in the day but I’ve adapted it over the years to make it 100% vegan without compromising on flavor. I’m really picky about Banana Bread recipes…so many are just too dry, don’t have enough Banana, have a poor crumb and so on. Yeap, Banana Bread snob I am! Sue me.

Ready in under 1 hour. #bananabread #vegan #cinnamon #cinnamonswirl #quickbread #bananamuffins #veganbaking #veganbananabread #easy #simple #walnuts #chocolate #eggless #baking #dessert #breakfastThis is such a simple recipe that you can add anything into (hence the on steroids title), and for today’s adaptation of my favourite Vegan Banana Bread recipe, I’ve gone with a Cinnamon Swirl, Dark Chocolate Chunks and Walnuts. Can’t go wrong with any of those bad boys, I say! This simple recipe consists of Plain Flour, Sugar, Ripened Bananas, 1 singular Flax Egg, Vanilla, Sea Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Vegetable Oil, a splash of Vegan Coconut Yoghurt and some Almond Meal to really pack some moisture into this soft and fluffy Banana Bread.

The result is a delicious pop of Cinnamon Sugar in each bite – THERE AIN’T NOTHING BETTER THAN THAT, FAM!

Ready in under 1 hour. #bananabread #vegan #cinnamon #cinnamonswirl #quickbread #bananamuffins #veganbaking #veganbananabread #easy #simple #walnuts #chocolate #eggless #baking #dessert #breakfastYes, this Banana Bread isn’t the prettiest, or the most “insta-worthy” – but F*CK THAT! Sometimes the ugliest things turn out to be the most precious gems (such as myself), hence the title, UGLY BANANA BREAD!

    Can I Use Other Flours?

    You can use Gluten Free Flour for this recipe, I’ve tested it before and it works perfectly.

    You may also omit the Almond Meal if you don’t have any on hand. I love adding Almond Meal into recipes as it lends a nice flavor and a touch of moistness to most muffin/quick bread recipes.

    Kept in an air-tight box, this Banana Bread will last for up to 1 week. I prefer keeping my Banana Bread in the fridge, simply because Bananas contain a lot of moisture which can end up in mould growing if not stored properly.

    You can also freeze individual slices that have been securely wrapped in a thick layer of cling-film. Just pop out an hour or two before you plan on eating it and Bob’s your uncle!

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 Large Bananas super-ripe
    • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Sugar 75g
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • 1 flax egg left to sit for 10 minutes
    • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil 80g
    • 1 tbsp Vegan Yogurt
    • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour 95g
    • 2 tbsp almond meal
    • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
    • 1/4 tsp Salt

    Add Ins:

    • 1/2 cup Walnuts chopped
    • 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
    • 1/3 cup coconut flakes
    • 1 large Banana sliced in half lengthways (optional)

    Cinnamon Swirl:

    • 1 1/2 tbsp Vegan Butter melted
    • 4 tbsp Brown Sugar
    • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon

    Instructions
     

    • Pre-heat your oven to 175C/350F. Line a loaf tin with non-stick parchment and set aside.
    • Prepare Cinnamon Swirl by combining Melted Vegan Butter, Brown Sugar and Cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
    • In a bowl, mash your 2 ripe bananas. Add Vanilla, Flax Egg, Vegetable Oil, Vegan Yogurt and whisk to combine.
    • In another bowl, sieve All Purpose Flour, Ground Almonds, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt. Whisk to combine.
    • Make a well in your dry ingredients and pour your wet ingredients in. Gently fold until a batter forms. Be careful to not over-mix or your Banana Bread will end up tough and dry.
    • Fold in chopped Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chips and Toasted Coconut Flakes.
    • Pour 1/3 of your batter into your prepared loaf tin and then dollop half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.
    • Using a knife, swirl the Cinnamon mixture into your Banana Bread Batter. Add another 1/3 of your Banana Bread batter to the pan and repeat the process with your remaining Cinnamon mixture. Finally, top with your final 1/3 of the Banana Bread batter.
    • Before baking, slice your extra Banana lengthways and gently place on top of the batter (optional).
    • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of your Banana Bread comes out clean.
    • Leave to cool in tin for 20 minutes and then turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool further.
