Healthier naner bread

This recipe is beginner friendly, vegan friendly ( minus hershey kisses) and wont make you feel so awful in indulging!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 and 3/4 cup flour (I used organic unbleached)
• 1/3 cup sugar ( I switched this up and used monk fruit sugar instead and a dash of brown sugar)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup apple sauce unsweetened
• 3 VERY ripe bananas mashed well
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup almond milk ( plus a splash more- depending on how dry your batter appears)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a loaf pan (I used vegan butter) set aside.
2. Mash bananas and add maple syrup, vanilla extract,apple sauce and almond milk. Mix together.
3. In a seperate bowl add all other dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugars, and salt. Mix well.
4. Add wet to dry and mix well.
5. Feel free to fold in cinnamon, chocolate chips, walnuts etc.. remember a chunky batter is good but be sure its not dry.. also add any extra splashes of almond milk if necessary.
6. Pour batter in loaf pan
7. Bake for 50 mins- check with tooth pick to be sure middle is fully cooked.

I love adding walnuts or chocolate chips but tonight I improvised and added a few almond Hershey kisses ontop and it was a perfect substitute.

*Reminder if you want to keep this vegan be sure to check your chocolate ingredients

Enjoy!
