Directions

15 mins to prep

45 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C and lightly grease a 20 x 10 cm loaf tin with oil or vegan butter.

  2. Step 2

    Place flaxseed in a small bowl and add 1/3 cup water. Stir to combine and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl add flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and almond milk. Using a wooden spoon, stir to combine. Stir in coconut oil, 1/2 cup of walnuts, flax mix, banana and vanilla.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer batter to the loaf tin and top with remaining walnuts. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the loaf comes out clean. Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool.

  5. Step 5

    Enjoy at room temperature or heated up. You can store this banana bread in an airtight container in the fridge for several days!

Variation

Swap out the sugar for 1/2 cup pure maple syrup if you’re after a more natural sweetener (in which case you can do with just 1/4 cup coconut oil). If your bananas are extra ripe, you can do with less sugar altogether!
