Love, Yuki♡ Dry ingredients 190g (1 1/2 cups) all purpose flour or cake flour 5g (1 1/2 tsp) baking powder 1,5 g (1/4 tsp) baking soda 3g (1/2 tsp) salt 1,5g-3g (1/2 to 1 tsp) ground cinnamon, optional Wet ingredients 3/4 cup / 150 grams light brown sugar 70g (1/3 cup) neutral oil 120 ml (1/2 cup) plant milk (I used soy) 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste or extract 220g (about 2) overripe bananas Optional Add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, blueberries or other berries. Chocolate glaze 140g dark chocolate, chopped 1 tsp coconut oil Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) degrees, position a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease and line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. {My loaf pan dimensions- 25.5 cms x 11.5 cms (10 x 5 inches), height of 7 cms}. In a medium mixing bowl, sift all the dry ingredients. Set aside. Place all the wet ingredients into a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and fold gently just until combined and no more flour pockets are visible. Do not overmix the batter.
Add the chopped walnuts or other add-ins and fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the baking pan. Gently tap it on the counter 2-3 times to remove the air bubbles. Bake on the middle rack for 45-50 min or until a toothpick inserted near center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the banana bread into the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before frosting or slicing. To make the glaze: melt chopped chocolate and coconut oil over a double boil. Let cool down a little, then pour over the cooled cake. Set aside to set for a couple of hours.
