Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Grease and flour the Bundt pan and set aside.
  2. Make flax egg by whisking ground flaxseeds with 3 tablespoons of water until gelatinous. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Peel and mash bananas in a medium bowl. Add flaxseed mixture, oil, sugar, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and mix well.
  4. Add flour and combine until just mixed.
  5. Pour batter into the greased pan. Cover gently with a paper towel, then secure aluminum foil over the paper towel around the rim. Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the pan on the trivet and gently lower into the pot. Close Instant Pot lid with pressure valve to sealing.
  6. Select Manual/Pressure Cook (Hi) and adjust cook time to 50 minutes. Allow 10 minutes of natural pressure release.
  7. Open the Instant Pot, carefully lift the trivet with the pan, and remove. Allow banana bread to cool for 5 minutes, then flip onto a plate.

Notes

- For the best vegan banana bread, always use very ripe bananas – the more brown spots, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Ensure your flax egg has fully gelled before adding it to the mashed bananas; this is crucial for binding the ingredients effectively.
- To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, always allow the full 10 minutes of natural pressure release in the Instant Pot.
- If the dough appears too dry after adding the flour, do not add more water. I’ve found that overmixing or adding extra liquid often leads to a dense loaf. Just combine until no dry streaks remain.
