Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas
½ c. unflavored almond milk (can substitute rice, soy, cashew milk, etc.)
4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 c. whole wheat flour
¼ c. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
⅛ tsp. sea salt
½ c. dried figs, chopped
¼ cup walnuts, chopped
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9″×5″ loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Stir in milk, vinegar, and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add banana mixture. Stir just until just moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in figs and walnuts.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about one hour). Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on rack.
