- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions to Make the Magic Happen
Now, let’s get down to business and make this delicious banana bread!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add in the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if you have a few lumps!
- If you’re feeling fancy, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for a little crunch.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
