Dairy-Free Healthy Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Ensure there are no large chunks for a uniform texture.

Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
