Ingredients
  

  • 5 Medium Bananas approx. 2 cups, mashed
  • 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Cup Nuts + Seeds I used walnuts, almonds, and pepitas, chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Almond Milk
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil melted
  • 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 Tbs Espresso
  • 1/2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, mash approx. 5 bananas. The consistency should be fairly smooth but slightly chunky!
  • Add in dry ingredients to bowl of bananas, and mix once or twice until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients (almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar).
  • Add mixed wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients + banana, and stir in (but try to stir as minimally as possible!).
  • Finally, fold in 1 cup nuts and seeds until evenly mixed. I used walnuts, pepitas, and almonds, chopped, but you can use any blend you like!
  • Pour batter into a bread pan lined with parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle any leftover nuts + seeds on top of the batter.
  • Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes. At 30 minutes, stick a toothpick in the bread to ensure it comes out dry. If not, keep in the oven for a few more minutes.
  • Once finished baking, let bread cool for a few minutes.
  • Slice and serve - it's delicious on its own, but is fantastic with almond butter or chocolate hazelnut butter!

Notes

Depending on the size of your bananas, you may need to bake your banana bread for a few extra minutes in the oven. I recommend sticking a clean knife or toothpick through the middle to check - if it comes out clean, then the bread should be ready.
