Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 4 tbsp hot water
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1/3 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1/3 cup vegan brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (or 1 1/2 cups all purpose + 2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan.
-
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with the hot water. Set aside for now.
-
In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the vegan butter and brown sugar. Add the self-rising flour, as well as the flax mixture. Stir until just combined – the batter will be thick; this is normal.
-
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 32-36 minutes, or until the bread is a light brown color and a knife pulls out clean.
Recipe Notes
- If the batter seems too thick and appears dry, add another 1-2 tablespoons of water. Usually this occurs if the flour is packed too much while measuring it, rather than spooning it in the measuring cup and leveling it off.
- The bread may be lighter in color than other banana bread recipes you’ve made; this is normal.
- If you are using bananas that are more on the just-starting-to-brown side (and as such, aren’t as sweet as really overripe bananas), you may want to increase the sugar content up to 1/2 cup if you prefer a sweeter banana bread.
