    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.

    Let's get into the recipe.

    This recipe is

    • easy to make
    • healthier for you
    • made in one bowl
    • made with only 5 ingredients
    • made with spelt flour and olive oil

    How do I make this spelt flour and olive oil banana bread?

    1. Add all ingredients to a bowl.
    2. Mix until smooth.
    3. Add batter to a loaf pan.
    4. Bake for 50 minutes.
    5. Let cool and dig in. So easy!

    Substitutions

    Scale

    Ingredients

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

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. 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.
    3. Pour batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
    4. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a knife comes out semi clean. I baked mine for 50 minutes on the dot.
    5. 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.

      Absolutely delicious! I did king Arthur’s GF flour, added walnuts and did a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. I love the mild sweetness of the bread, it’s so moist. I’m a mom of 6, so this was the best, FAST recipe to make. Perfection.
