Ingredients

  • 6 ripe bananas
  • 2 flax eggs
  • 3/4 cup sunflower oil
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons turbinando sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon white rum
  • 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Grease a 9" loaf pan and set aside.
  • Peel five bananas and chop them into bite size pieces. Place them in a large bowl and mash using a potato masher or fork until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together 5 tbs water and 2 tbs milled flaxseed to make 2 flax eggs. Set aside for 5 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened, whisk together with with the we ingredients, including sunflower oil, brown sugar, turbinando sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and rum.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, including flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • Add the wet ingredients to your mashed bananas. Once thoroughly mixed, slowly add the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Using a spatula, fill the 9" loaf pan 3/4 of the way full with batter. Peel and slice your last banana in half and place on the top. Make sure to only fill the pan 3/4 of the way full because you'll need space for the bread to rise.
  • Bake for 45-40 minutes. Check to see if the loaf is properly baked by inserting a toothpick. It should not have any residue once removed from the dough.
