Ingredients




2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup mashed banana (about 2)
1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8x4 loaf pan with oil and flour. 2 In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. 3 In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, maple syrup, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla. 4 Pour wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is evenly moistened. 5 Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan. Distribute evenly but no need to spread batter to the edges; the batter will spread as it bakes. 6 Bake for 55 - 60 minutes until edges turn golden brown and sides pull away. 7 Let bread cool for at least 30 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the loaf onto a cooling rack.
