VEGAN BANANA BREAD

INGREDIENTS:

⭑1¾ cup flour

⭑½ cup sugar

⭑1 Tablespoon baking powder

⭑1 teaspoon baking soda

⭑Pinch of salt

⭑5 ripe bananas

⭑½ cup vegetable oil

⭑1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

⭑1 teaspoon maple extract

⭑ground cinnamon to taste. (if you like it really cinnamony, use 1 teaspoon. If you’re looking for just a touch cinnamon, use ½ teaspoon + extra for sprinkling on top)

⭑ground nutmeg for sprinkling on top

⭑¼ cup oat milk (or plant milk of choice)

⭑¼ cup creamy peanut butter 

⭑2 teaspoons flax meal

⭑2 Tablespoons chia seed

METHOD:

⭑Preheat a large oval shaped Crockpot on high with enough water to just cover the bottom. About 2 cups.

⭑Prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by spraying with cooking oil and a light layer of flour. Tap the flour around the pan to coat the bottom and all sides. Tap out any excess flour. Set aside.

⭑In a mixing bowl whisk together, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, flax meal, and chia seed.

⭑In a separate larger mixing bowl cream ripe bananas with an electric mixer.

⭑To the bananas add, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, maple extract, peanut butter, and oat milk. Combine until just incorporated. 

⭑Slowly combine dry ingredients to the banana mixture a couple tablespoons at a time. Start electric mixer speed on low and increase speed as batter gets thicker.

⭑Pour batter into loaf pan. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg on top.

⭑Carefully place loaf pan down into the heated Crockpot. Cover Crockpot with a few paper towels. (This will help keep the steam off the banana bread.) Place the Crockpot lid tightly on top. Don’t touch for 2 hours. 

⭑After 2 hours, check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean it’s done. If not, leave uncovered for another 15 minutes. 

⭑When done, turn off Crockpot. Carefully, with oven mitts, lift the loaf pan out of the Crockpot and let cool on a wire rack. 

⭑When cooled empty banana bread onto a plate. Enjoy!

  1. We really enjoy banana bread and do have a crockpot, but I’ve never before had a recipe that has you create the bread within the crockpot! This is super convenient.
