Equipment

  • 9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour or almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 1 ½ cups mashed ripe banana (360g)
  • ½ cup yogurt or additional banana
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey or agave
  • ⅓ cup oil or milk of choice
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Whisk liquid ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • Pour wet into dry, and stir to form a batter.
  • Smooth the batter into the prepared pan. If desired, press some chocolate chips into the top.
  • Bake on the center rack for 40 minutes. Do not open the oven door but turn off the heat and let sit in the closed oven for 10 additional minutes.
  • If your bread is still undercooked, cover the top with foil, turn the oven back on, and continue baking, checking every 5 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Taste and texture are much better the second day.
  • Leftovers can be sliced and frozen for up to a month.

Notes

Flour options include white, spelt, or oat flour.
