Although this is a recipe for banana nut bread, I like to use a spring form cake pan just for a different aesthetic in the presentation. You can eat it for breakfast with a vegan butter spread or have it as a late-night snack. Hell, it’s perfect for whenever you want it!

  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale

For Wet Mixture

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (preferably Silk brand)
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, room temperature (such as Melt brand)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 ripened bananas (mashed)
  • 1 whole ripened banana
  • 1 tsp vanilla

For Dry Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cup unbleached white all-purpose organic flour
  • 1/2 cup organic whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp each of nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and sea salt
  • 1/2 cup pecans (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup roasted and salted pepitas

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine milk and apple cider vinegar in a small mixing bowl and set aside. In a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar together. Then, mix three mashed bananas, vanilla, and milk into the butter and sugar mixture.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix flour and the next seven ingredients together with a fork until combined. Fold in pecans and pepitas with a rubber spatula.

Line a spring form pan with parchment paper. Carefully pour batter into the pan, smoothing out evenly with spatula. Peel the last banana and cut into slices to top bread batter along with a sprinkle of pepitas.

Bake for 45 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool before removing from spring form pan.
