Incredible Vegan Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x5in loaf pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Stir and set aside.

Step 3

Measure out bananas in a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them well. Add sugar or syrup, oil, and vanilla, whisking to combine. Stir in milk.

Step 4

Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until just barely combined (a few flour clumps are okay). Fold in chocolate chips, being careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Pour into loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes for maple syrup version), or until a knife comes out clean. If your loaf looks like it's getting too browned, quickly slide a piece of tin foil on top after 50 minutes. Once done, carefully remove from pan and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing.
