This is a delicious, perfectly fluffy and, dare I say it, moist banana bread with a subtle peanut butter flavor. Great vegan banana bread recipe for kids and adults alike!
Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9x5 baking dish with vegan butter and coat with a lining of sugar (about 1 tablespoon).
Add the flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt to a large mixing bowl.
On a plate mash 2 - 3 very ripe bananas with a fork - the more ripe, the better. You need about 1 cup of mashed banana.
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed ripe banana, smooth peanut butter, soy milk, ground flaxseed, and optional olive oil. Whisk well, until everything is smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients, and fold just until everything is incorporated - careful not to overmix it!
Add the mixture to the sugared 9x5 baking dish, making sure it is evenly distributed. Then bake for 52 - 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out cleanly.
Let cool for 15 minutes, then pop it out of the 9x5. Let the bread cool for another 30 minutes before eating.
