How to Make Banana Bread Lightened Up Spelt Vegan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together spelt flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and flaxseed meal.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the oil and chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
