Vegan 5 Ingredient Banana Bread

I have a huge sweet tooth, but if we are being honest I don't like baking. When I do bake, I want the recipe to be super easy to make. This Vegan 5 Ingredient Banana Bread is so easy to make and made with healthier ingredients.

I baked this banana bread with spelt flour, which is such a good alternative to all purpose flour. It has more nutrients but still rises well and is fluffy. This banana bread has much less sugar than your standard banana bread but is still plenty sweet. This is a great recipe to keep on hand for healthy snacks or even breakfast.

I love a good banana bread recipe. For more yummy banana bread recipes try my sweet potato banana bread or my pumpkin banana bread.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 spotty bananas - mashed
• ⅓ cup olive oil
• ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 ½ cup spelt flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips optional
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together bananas, olive oil, maple syrup, spelt flour and baking powder until smooth. Do not overmix the batter. If you are using chocolate chips, fold those in last.
• Pour batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a knife comes out semi clean. I baked mine for 50 minutes on the dot.
• Let bread cool for an hour in the loaf pan before slicing. If you slice the bread before it is cool it will be crumbly.

Notes

If your banana bread is too crumbly when cutting it, let it cool further.
