Introduction
This recipe comes from my friend Janice, baker extraordinaire. I’ve adapted it to include healthy fats, soluble fibers, vegetable protein, and whole grains all in one bread.
Ingredients
| 1 | cup mashed bananas |
| ¼ | cup canola oil |
| ¾ | cup sugar |
| 1 | tsp. vanilla |
| 1½ | cups whole-wheat pastry flour |
| 2 | Tbsp. flaxseed meal |
| 1 | tsp. kosher salt |
| 1 | tsp. baking soda |
| 1 | tsp. ground cinnamon |
| ¾ | tsp. ground ginger |
| ½ | tsp. ground nutmeg |
| 1 | large carrot, grated |
| ¾ | cup chopped walnuts |
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix bananas, oil, vanilla, and sugar together. Measure into another bowl the dry ingredients: flour, flaxseed meal, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture until well incorporated. Fold in grated carrots and walnuts.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean and the top is nicely browned. Cool briefly on a rack before inverting the bread out of the pan to finishing cooling.

My kids polished off a loaf of this in less than 24 hours. It makes a great snack or breakfast, especially good with butter.

We just made this as muffins with the middle school youth group for our upcoming bake sale (takes 20-25 mins. baking for muffins). We shared the one I squashed, and everyone thought it was great. It’s esp. cool that it’s vegan. I sent my printed copy of the recipe home with one young woman whose aunt is vegan. She was very excited about having it.
