Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil and set aside or use vegan butter
In a large bowl, mash the banana until almost smooth.
Combine the mashed banana with the wet ingredients below into a large mixing bowl. Feel free to use the hands-free mixer. Blend for about 5-8 minutes on low to medium speed.
Stir the wet ingredients of ground flax, milk, melted oil (or vegan butter) maple syrup, and vanilla into the banana until combined.
Stir the dry ingredients (sugar, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour) into a separate bowl. For a finer option, you can use a shifter to “shift” the dry ingredients prior to mixing with the wet ingredients.
Add all the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gradually. Please do not add all at once. Continue to blend for about 5-8 minutes until smooth on a low to medium speed.
Spoon the dough into the loaf pan and spread out evenly. Add your desired toppings and gently press them into the dough to adhere.
Additionally, you can spoon the dough into a muffin pan. Prepare the muffin pan the same as the loaf pan, bake on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, add your desired toppings and sprinkle additional cinnamon, nutmeg and coconut sugar if desired.
