ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mashed banana
- 3 tablepoons maple syrup
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together mashed bananas, maple syrup, almond butter, vinegar, milk, and almond extract.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 4
Add flour mixture into the banana mixture, and use a rubber spatula to gently fold together. Mix until ingredients are almost incorporated (some dry flour pockets are OK at this point), add walnuts, and gently fold a couple more times to evenly distribute the walnuts. At this point no flour streaks should remain. Be sure to scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl for dry flour.
Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the bread cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving.
