Almost Vegan Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter and flour loaf pan. (I use a stoneware loaf pan and only oil it slightly.).
• In a medium bown, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
• In a small bowl, mash bananas. Mix in milk and vanilla.
• In large bowl, beat shortening with electric mixer until creamy.
• Gradually beat in sugar with shortening.
• Add eggs to shortening one at a time, mixing well after each.
• Alternately add the flour and banana mixtures to shortening mixture in two additions.
• If you like nuts in your bread, add them here and use up to 1 cup.
• Pour into loaf pan.
• Sprinkle nuts and brown sugar on top and press into batter slightly. (This helps them to stick better after it's baked.).
• Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
• Cool at least 5 minutes before removing from loaf pan.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350° F. Grease bottom only of 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
• In large bowl, beat sugar, bananas, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth. Stir in almond milk and vinegar. Add flour, baking soda and salt; stir just until moistened. Stir in walnuts. Pour into pan.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and crack in top of loaf appears dry. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan, and place on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing. Wrap cooled bread in plastic wrap, and store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash 3 large black peeled bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75g vegetable or sunflower oil and 100g brown sugar.
• Add 225g plain flour, 3 heaped tsp baking powder and 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice, and combine well. Add 50g dried fruit or nuts, if using.
• Bake in an oiled, lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes. Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning.
• Bake for another 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Allow to cool a little before slicing. It's delicious freshly baked, but develops a lovely gooey quality the day after.
