Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) melted
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 vegan egg replacer (1 tbsp ground flax seed mixed with 3 tbsp water OR use Energ-G Egg Replacer prepared according to instructions on box for 1 egg)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-Ins (optional)
- 1 cup chopped pecans OR
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350oF.
- Prep the loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper: Cut a piece of parchment that is the length of the loaf pan and is long enough to reach just above the top of the sides of the pan. Next, spray a non-stick cooking spray to coat the inside of the pan as well as the parchment paper.
- Prepare your egg replacer. If using a flax egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flax seed mixed with 3 Tbsp water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add in all the remaining wet ingredients, including your flax egg, and mix these together.
- Slowly add in your dry ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula until the batter is mostly mixed with a few lumps here and there.
- Stir in chopped pecans or chocolate chips, if using, until just incorporated.
- Scoop batter into loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean without any wet batter.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from loaf pan. Slice into 1 inch slices.
- Enjoy!
