Keep an eye out for flying monkeys... just kidding! But seriously, be cautious with the oven and hot baking trays. And remember, this recipe is so tasty, it might disappear faster than you can say 'vegan'.

1

Prepare the ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients for your vegan banana bread: 3 ripe bananas, 1/4 cup of almond milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.

2

Mash those bananas

In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until they're smooth and creamy. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork, or if you're feeling adventurous, pretend the bananas insulted your favorite TV character and show them who's boss.

3

Add the wet ingredients

To the mashed bananas, add the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined. This is when you can start imagining the applause from all the banana bread fans out there.

4

Incorporate the dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring as you go. Imagine you're a wizard whipping up some magic potion!

5

Fold in the walnuts

Time to bring in the crunch! Gently fold in the chopped walnuts to the batter. Give it a good stir with a spatula, but don't overmix. We want those walnuts to shine through, not get lost in the mix.

6

Bake to perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Pop it into the oven and let it work its magic for about 50-60 minutes. Meanwhile, you can practice your best 'banana bread dance' routine.

7

Time to cool down

Once the aroma of freshly baked banana bread fills your kitchen, it's time to remove it from the oven. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Be patient, my friend, it'll be worth the wait!

8

Slice and savor

Congratulations! You've successfully created a mouthwatering vegan banana bread. Now it's time to slice and savor your creation. Enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee, or if you're feeling extra fancy, add a dollop of vegan butter or jam. Bon appétit!
