This Dairy-Free Banana Bread is better for you and doesn’t sacrifice one ounce of flavor! It's incredibly moist, packed with banana flavor, and, best of all, it's completely dairy-free!
Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease 9x5 inch loaf pan with your choice of oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add oil, honey, eggs, bananas, and coconut milk. Stir with a hand-whisk until fully incorporated. Add remaining ingredients except for flour. Gently whisk to combine well.
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the flour; fold repeatedly until flour is just combined, with some small lumps remaining (do not over mix the flour.) Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
Use rubber spatula to completely transfer batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake about 50 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached.
Let bread cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Run a thin, sharp knife along edges carefully and remove bread from pan to slice.
Notes
When choosing your bananas for this dairy-free banana bread recipe, make sure they are very ripe. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
To guarantee that your banana bread is moist, don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can lead to a dense, dry loaf. Just fold in the flour until it's combined, leaving some small lumps.
Don't forget to preheat your oven. This ensures that your banana bread will rise properly and cook evenly.
Feel free to customize your banana bread with add-ins like dark mini chocolate chips, nuts, or dried blueberries.
Always let your banana bread cool completely before slicing. This helps it retain moisture.
Remember to lightly grease your loaf pan with extra virgin olive oil. This prevents the bread from sticking to the pan and makes it easier to remove once baked..
We prefer mini chocolate chips, as they "melt" into the bread really well.
