Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed meal and water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken into a gel.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the oil, packed brown sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Stir in the thickened flax egg.
  4. Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to fold everything together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Let the banana bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the loaf out of the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tip 1: Use Overripe Bananas. For the best flavor and moisture, use bananas that are heavily speckled with brown or black spots.
Tip 2: Don't Overmix. Mix the batter only until the flour is no longer visible to ensure a tender, not tough, crumb.
Tip 3: Cool Completely. This is essential! Letting the bread cool fully allows the internal structure to set, preventing a gummy texture.
