Banana Bread

 

1/4 cup non-dairy milk

1/4 tsp. lemon juice

4 or 5 spotted or browning bananas ( I used 3 extra large)

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup raw sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tsp. baking soday

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

 

1. Preheat  oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray a standard 8 -inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. Whisk the non-dairy milk and lemon juice together until bubbly and set aside.
3. Cream bananas with the sugars by hand using a spatula or in a food processor until smooth and creamy, set aside (mine was lumpy, but it worked fine)
4. In a large bowl, whisk spices, flour, baking soda, and baking powder together.
5. Add milk-lemon juice and banana mixture, as well as all the remaing ingredients, to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Pour into loaf pan, using a spatula to evenly distribute and smooth out the top.
7. Make a tent over the pan with a large piece of aluminum foil.
8. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
