Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, or use all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea or kosher salt
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, or for vegan use one flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax meal mixed with 3 tbsp cold water. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice, I used almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray an 8 x 4 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

    2.In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients.

    3.In another mixing bowl, mash bananas and add the rest of the wet ingredients. Add only 1/4 cup of milk to start. The batter should be thick but a little pourable. If needed add more milk. Try not to over mix the batter.

    4.Pour into prepared pan. Bake for about 35 to 50 minutes. Check after 35 minutes. Test with a toothpick. Should come out with dry to moist crumbs. Let sit on wire rack to cool at least 20 minutes. Then invert onto wire rack. Cool another 10 minutes. Slice up and eat up!
