Banana Nut Bread
What you need:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a loaf pan. Mix the mashed bananas and oil in a large bowl.
2. Stir in the flour, vegan sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix in the nuts.
3. Pour the well blended batter into the greased pan and bake for 1 hour. Remove and let cool.
I found this recipe works better than many I've tried, since it sticks together much better, and is healthier for you since it doesn't require shortening and a lot of oil. Any oil will suffice, however olive oil is the healthiest!

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Made it today and I love it, perfect with a pot of gunpowder green tea.
This was my first attempt at making banana nut bread and it came out pretty well!
I used 1/4 cup cane sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and a quick pour of Sweet 101 Brown Sugar and Vanilla Spice Syrup. Then again, I have a sweet tooth.
This turned out great. I made a few modifications though. I used 4 bananas, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 tsp baking powder and 1/4 cup reduced fat plain soy milk. I baked it for an hour at 340F. Could have probably baked a little longer but it was still delicious!
I made muffins out of this, and they turned out perfect! Used only 1/2 cup brown sugar, put a couple splashes vanilla, and probably about 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips. The batter was a little dry, sure, but it came out perfect--actually cooked on the inside! Thanks so much for this crazy simple recipe.
This is the only Banana Bread Recipe that I've tried, and I love it! :)>>> I love it not only because it tastes so good, but because there are only a few ingredients and no hoop to jump thru when making it. The only adjustment that I make is to lessen the sugar. I only use 1/4 cup of sugar and my family still loves it! Thanks for sharing!!!! ;)b
This ROCKED my world! Thank you! ;)b
This was a great recipe! It seemed a bit dry after mixing the banana and flour, so i added 1/4 cup of almond milk. I also did 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 all purpose. Other than the minor tweak, this banana bread tastes even better than the kind my mom used to make for me!!!
I make this all the time, but tried it last night with all whole wheat flour and using applesauce instead of oil. I ended up doubling up on the applesauce so moisten the loaf, and I think it could've used even more. It came out a bit more dense than usual, but it's still delicious. ;)b

Very soft, very moist, rises beautifully. I added a few dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Took it to meet my boyfriend's omni family and they loved it.
I enjoyed this banana bread quite a bit, and I've made it several times now. Like others, I used less salt than recommended.
I even made a little how-to video for making it. :)
