  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit

Notes

  • The cook time is for if you are using a bread pan. If you use the mini loaf pans, bake time needs to be brought down to 30 min.
  • A "flax egg" is a vegan substitution for a chicken egg. To create one take 1 tablespoon ground flax seed and add 1.5 tablespoons hot water, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use bananas that have black spots on it and are soft for best results. I mush them roughly, and like chunks of banana in it.
  • Make sure to distribute the brown sugar well in the mix. If your brown sugar is a little hard, you can warm it up in the microwave to soften it.
  • I used coconut and chocolate chips but you don't have to. You can substitute any nuts instead, I know walnuts are popular.
  • I used Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour mix.
  • If you are not vegan you can sub the 2 flax eggs for 2 chicken eggs.
