I make this Dairy-Free Banana Bread recipe almost every week. Sometimes I use dark chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor. This recipe makes a great gift or bake sale treat. I love having these muffins as a healthy morning or afternoon snack. Not only is this recipe simple to make, but it also tastes delicious, and will make your home smell amazing.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease or spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil.
Place the bananas in a large mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or electric mixer.
Slowly add in coconut oil, sugar, vanilla, and eggs (one at a time).
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, on low speed with the mixer, rubber spatula, or fork. Just until well-incorporated, but do not over-mix.
At this point you can fold in the optional ingredients if you would like, then, add the whole mixture to the greased loaf pan.
Bake for about 55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
Slice and enjoy.
