Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice (to taste)

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • Swirled berry jam with natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas and Wet Ingredients: Mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky to keep texture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with vegetable oil, plant-based yogurt, brown sugar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until creamy and fragrant.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and any desired spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice for enhanced flavor and even distribution of leavening.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently just until no dry flour remains. Be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense bread.
  4. Add Optional Mix-Ins: Fold in any optional ingredients such as chopped walnuts, dark chocolate chips, or swirled berry jam with natural gelling agent. These add texture and bursts of flavor throughout the bread.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to preserve its moist crumb.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and soft.
  • Plant-based yogurt adds moisture and a slight tang for texture.
  • Vegetable oil ensures a soft texture and longer-lasting moistness compared to butter.
  • Cool banana bread completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
