1 1/2 cups AP Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 teaspoon Salt
3/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Soy or Almond Milk

["Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.", "Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.", "In a small cup, mix the soy milk and cider vinegar and allow it to sit for 2 minutes.", "Mix the soy milk mixture into the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix until just combined. Then fold in the dry ingredients bit by bit, just until incorporated. Do not over mix and then gently fold in the nuts and pour into a lightly greased 9 x 5 metal loaf pan.", "Bake for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, until a knife inserted comes out relatively clean. It needs to cook for a while to develop the caramel undertone. Then allow to sit for at least 20 minutes, turn out of the loaf pan and serve.

* I always take bananas that have gone a bit too ripe and put them in a plastic storage bag and freeze them for later use. They will keep indefinitely, and they really do make stunning banana bread. If you decide to use frozen bananas, you will need to make sure they come up to room temperature before mixing with other ingredients, otherwise the bread won't cook through."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
