Servings 20 slices per loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 6 very ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup apple cider juice, or applesauce
  • 4 cups whole wheat flour or white whole wheat
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two loaf pans with oil or use silicone pans dusted with a little flour.
  • Mix the lemon juice into the non-dairy milk and set aside to curdle a bit.
  • In a big bowl, add the peeled bananas, and all the dry ingredients except the flour and blueberries.
  • Once the bananas are well mashed (some small chunks are fine), add the cider and the non-dairy milk mixture and stir a bit to incorporate.
  • Next add the flour to the wet mixture, stirring just until no dry flour is visible, but taking care not to over mix.
  • Fold in the blueberries.
  • Divide the thick, chunky batter evenly into your prepared baking pans.
  • Bake for 60 minutes until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Try to resist eating the warm bread right away and allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
