Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed bananas about 3-4 very ripe
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup cane sugar or coconut sugar or white sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut oil or whatever mild oil you like
  • 2 cups of flour you could use ½ whole wheat or sub in gluten-free 1-1 flour to make GF
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ milk I used unsweetened almond (use whatever nut or regular milk you like)
  • 2 medium sized apples peeled, cored and chopped
  • Raw sugar (turbinado) to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray (or butter and flour the parchment paper) and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mash the bananas. Mix the egg with the sugar and oil, and stir into the bananas.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, sea salt (regular salt is fine too), baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon and ground ginger.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir in the milk (I used unsweetened almond milk).
  • Fold in the apple pieces.
  • Scrape batter into a 9 x 5-inch metal loaf pan coated with baking spray. Sprinkle on the turbinado sugar (if using).
  • Bake for ½ on hour at 350 then lower the heat to 325 and bake for about another 20-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Every oven is different. I like to lower heat halfway through baking time so that it doesn't bake up too quickly and brown too fast.

Notes

  • Full-size loaf: about 55-60 minutes total, start checking at 55 minutes.
  • 3 mini loaf pans: about 25-35 minutes.
  • Muffins: about 15-25 minutes depending on tin size.
  • Nutrition: is an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
