No-Oil Banana Bread
Rachel Lamarche
Moist, naturally sweet banana bread made without oil, featuring ripe bananas, dates, and a hint of cinnamon, enriched with peach or pear juice for extra flavor. Perfectly wholesome with a soft crumb, and customizable with cocoa nibs for a chocolate twist.
- 1¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup finely chopped dates
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup preserved juice from a can of peaches or pears not in syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large ripe bananas
- ¼ cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ cup cocoas nibs if wanting a chocolate flavour
- sprinkle of salt optional
Use a silicone or non-stick bread tine for this and preheat your oven at 180°C (350°F)
In a medium bowl mash the banana with the preserved juice and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
Combine with banana mixture.
Use soy milk to change the thickness. The batter should not be too liquid.
If adding cocoa nibs, combine with the final mixture.
Transfer the batter to the bread tin.
Pop in the oven until it is golden brown and a knife or toothpick comes out clean.
