  • ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • Optional: ½ cup mix-ins (eg. chopped nuts, chocolate chips, chopped dried fruit, raisins...etc)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil and maple syrup together together with a whisk.
  3. Add the eggs and beat well
  4. Whisk in the mashed bananas and soy milk
  5. Add the baking soda, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend.
  6. Lastly, add the whole wheat flour into the bowl, and gradually fold it in with a spatula until well combined. (it's okay to have some lumps!)
  7. If you're adding any additional mix-ins, add now and gently fold in
  8. Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle more chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  9. Bake in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the loaf pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
