Ingredients
- 80 grams/ 3/4 cup walnuts
- 140 grams/ 2/3 cup soy milk
- 150 grams/ 2/3 cup apple sauce
- 100 grams/ 1/3 cup soy yoghurt
- 300 grams/ 3 1/3 cups oats
- 75 grams/ 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 2-3 bananas the third is optional for decoration
- 60 grams/ 1/3 cup chocolate chips optional but recommended
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla or tonka
- 1 tbsp apple vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Then start off by creating the vegan buttermilk. To do this you have to mix the soy milk with lemon juice/apple vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken and curdle.
- Next, you add the salt, cinnamon and vanilla to the mixture.
- Move on to mashing the two ripe bananas until smooth.
- Then, you add the oat flour, soy yoghurt, apple sauce and bananas and mix it all together. Don't overdo it though, so not to make the bread dense.
- Lastly, chop the walnuts coarsely or finely, depending on your preference, I personally prefer bigger chunks. Add those as well as the chocolate chips into the dough, mix carefully, just to incorporate them shortly into the dough.
- Now prepare your loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Decorate it if you like, I halved a banana and put it on top as well as I sprinkled some chocolate chips as well as a few walnuts on top. Cook for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once it has completely cooled, transfer it to a serving plate and enjoy your fresh, homemade banana bread!
