Vegan Banana Bread

I have been loving my first month of being a senior resident!  Probably because I had two weeks of elective in gastroenterology, outpatient office, full weekends and vacation lol.

I had my bachelorette party, bought my car, studied for my in-service exam (I am kind of a nerd lol) and worked on some recipes :).

Here is my vegan banana bread!

Ingredients

*makes a loaf of bread for about 8 people

• 4 super ripe bananas (I freeze mine as they brown and right before they go bad and then microwave them for 2-3 minutes before baking)
• 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons stevia or 1/3 cup white granulated sugar 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/2 cup of white flour or light spelt flour (or 1 cup regular flour and 3/4 cup quick oats)
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans 
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips or a vegan nutella or any nut butter to swirl on the top

Directions

1. Mash bananas and turn oven on to 350 degrees F. 
2. Add all wet ingredients of coconut oil, sugar, stevia, vanilla, flaxseed, almond milk, and honey and mix well.
3. Add in dry ingredients, flour, baking soda and baking powder, salt, nuts, and cinnamon and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
4. Use coconut oil or oil spray to line loaf pan.  
5. Spoon in batter and top with chocolate chips or a vegan nutella.
6. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Until golden.  And I ALWAYS use the knife trick... take knife and spear the bread at its deepest point, if no batter is on the knife it's done!
7. Enjoy!!
