Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon milk, dairy or vegan
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (85 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt plus a little pinch
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 2 ½ tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed (33 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (24 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons oil of choice (neutral, coconut oil, olive oil)
  • 1 large very ripe banana, peeled and mashed (100 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped nuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease three ramekins or one small (3x5 ish) loaf pan.
  • Combine milk and vinegar and set aside for two minutes. If you have buttermilk, you can use that instead of the milk and vinegar combo.
  • In a mixing bowl, evenly mix together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon (if using), then add both sugars and stir until blended.
  • Add the oil directly to the dry ingredients and stir to coat particles with oil, then add the banana and milk (and vanilla, if using) and stir just until everything is well mixed.
  • Add some nuts if desired and scrape batter (it will be thick) into your choice of pan.
  • Bake for 27 to 30 minutes. Baking time will vary slightly based on the pan you've selected. Allow the muffins or bread to cool slightly, then remove from the cups or pan. Let cool completely. This bread only gets better as it cools.
