Recipe Type: Dessert | Serves: 8

Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour: 1 3/4 cups (210 g)

• Cane Sugar: 1/3 cup

• Baking Powder: 1 tsp

• Baking Soda: 1 tsp

• Salt: Pinch

• Avocado Oil: 1/3 cup

• Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp

• Overripe Banana: 1 large, mashed

• Fresh Cherries: 1 cup, pitted and chopped

• Almond Milk: 1/4 cup

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash your overripe banana well, then add all of your remaining ingredients straight into the bowl: avocado oil, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, a pinch of salt, and your chopped cherries.

2. Mix gently just until everything is combined—a few lumps are totally fine! If the batter feels too thick, splash in a little almond milk.

3. Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan, and place in your oven at 350°F for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Once it's done baking, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
