Ingredients
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
½ cup vegan butter (at room temperature (see FAQ for oil option))
3 very ripe bananas (mashed well)
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup vanilla soy milk mixed with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon salt
1/2 a large banana (split lengthwise, for the top (optional))
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x4 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or lightly coat with vegan butter.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
In a large bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugars. Add the mashed bananas, soy milk mixture, and vanilla and mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined — don't overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. If using, lay the halved banana cut-side up across the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out.
