Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 3 bananas)
  • 3 tbsp aquafaba
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F (176° C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar with an electric mixer, 1-2 minutes. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla and mix about 30 seconds more.
  4. Add the wet ingredients (minus the aquafaba and cream of tartar) to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, add the 3 tbsp of aquafaba and 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar and whip with an electric mixer until stiff, about 5 minutes. Then, fold the whipped aquafaba into the batter until just combined, there should be no more white.
  6. Pour the batter into the lightly greased loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Carefully remove the banana bread from the pan and place on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes before serving.
