Equipment

Ingredients

BANANA BREAD

  • 4 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½-1 cup cane sugar
  • ½ cup neutral oil
  • 6 tablespoons aquafaba
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour**
  • Optional Mix-ins: Chocolate chips, dried fruit, chopped nuts, etc.

PUMPKIN BREAD

APPLE BREAD

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
  • ½-1 cup cane sugar*
  • ½ cup neutral oil
  • 6 tablespoons aquafaba
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour**
  • Optional Mix-ins: Chocolate chips, dried fruit, chopped nuts, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the flour until well combined.
  • Stir in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Lastly, gently fold in your mix-ins of choice.
  • Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and bake the bread for 55-65 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing it and allowing it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight bag or container on the counter for 1-2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze this bread for 2-3 months.

Notes

*I find that ½ cup of sugar makes at least the banana and apple bread plenty sweet. When making the pumpkin flavored bread, I'll often increase the sugar to ¾ - 1 cup of sugar since pumpkin puree isn't very sweet naturally.
**I like to use whole wheat flour, but half and half or all white all-purpose flour works great as well. Sadly, gluten-free all-purpose flour doesn't work in this recipe.
Nutrition information is for banana bread with no mix-ins.
