Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Loaf Pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup raw walnuts, chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the ground flax seed with water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens. This will act as your egg substitute.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be!
  • Add the prepared flax egg, sourdough starter, avocado oil (or melted coconut oil), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this will keep your bread light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the banana bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute walnuts with other nuts or seeds according to your preference.
  • If you don’t have sourdough starter, store-bought vegan yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • For extra sweetness, sprinkle coconut sugar on top before baking.
