Enjoy a butter-free take on the traditional classic quick bread with this dairy free banana bread recipe. This loaf is packed with banana flavor and has the perfect level of sweetness. It’s got a tender fluffy crumb, yet is still somehow rich at the same time. Bake this up, sit down with a cup of coffee, and relish in a few (hopefully peaceful) minutes of snacking.
Banana bread is one of the easiest recipes to modify for a dairy free diet. There’s only one ingredient usually used that contains dairy – and that’s butter. For most recipes, all you need to do is swap out the butter for an equivalent amount of oil (vegetable oil, coconut oil, etc) or dairy free butter (like Earth Balance).
As long as there are no other add-ins like milk or chocolate, that’s really the only swap you need to make, and the majority of recipes should turn out just fine. (And if it does have milk, you can substitute oat milk, and if it has chocolate, use dairy free chocolate chips).
Healthy No Added Sugar Banana Bread
So if you have a family favorite, feel free to experiment this way by using your own recipe and making these easy substitutions.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make our version. I’m betting you have all of this – or at least most of it – already in your kitchen right now:
You’ll start by mashing your bananas and combining them with the oil, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla. You’ll want to whisk it up until everything is good and mixed. It’s totally okay if there are still random chunks of bananas in there.
Vegan Banana Bread (easy + Healthy)
Next, you’ll add in the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir it up until everything is combined. Don’t overmix here; it can make the bread less fluffy.
One quick tip – you want to bake this in the center rack of your oven. If you bake it too high or too low, it will cause either the bottom or top to brown too much before the center has finished baking.
Yes! After you’ve made your banana bread, I recommend cutting it into individual slices. Wrap each slice well in plastic wrap or tin foil. This will help prevent the cold freezer air from affecting the taste and texture of the bread. Then, put all of these slices in a zip top bag and put it in the freezer.
Banana Bread Recipe (eggless, Vegan & Whole Wheat)
When you’re crazing a slice of dairy free banana bread, just remove one piece from the wrap or tin foil, place it on a plate, and microwave it for about 30-60 seconds (depending on the thickness of your slice; start at 30 seconds).
Individual well-wrapped slices will stay safe indefinitely in the freezer, but quality does decline over time. I recommend using them within 1-2 months.
You an also freeze loaves whole, but I find this to be less optimal because then you’ll need to defrost and eat the whole loaf at once (best quality is within a day or two). This would work if you were saving it for company though!
Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe (with Almond Flour)
Yes! Just pour the batter into a 12 count muffin tin rather than a loaf pan. I recommend changing the oven temperature to 350 degrees for muffins and cutting the cooking time down to around 20-25 minutes.
Don’t get me wrong, a warm slice of this dairy free banana bread is pretty much all you need for a happy tummy. But if you want, it does tastes delicious topped with dairy free spreads like:
As a heads up, you can also use leftover banana bread from this recipe for one of my favorite breakfasts – French toast! Use the slices of banana bread to make French toast rather than traditional bread. Serve with sliced bananas and maple syrup (or dairy free caramel), of course. Did breakfast ever sound so delicious?!
The Perfect {vegan} Banana Bread
(I generally just throw together my own French toast mixture with eggs and almond milk, but you can also use a recipe like this if you like having something to follow).
I try to note potential allergens in all recipes – but as you know, manufacturers can change ingredient formulations or I may miss something.
Depending on the oil you use, this can easily be made soy free as well (just use coconut oil or canola oil instead of soy oil). Keep in mind some people with mild soy allergies can tolerate vegetable oil.
Dairy Free Banana Loaf
This recipe does contain wheat and eggs. Because this recipe is heavy on bananas, I wouldn’t do an egg free version using the same ingredient amounts here. I think it would collapse.
Keep in mind you’ll want to check ingredients on any toppings or spreads you use to ensure they meet your allergy needs.
I hope you enjoy this dairy free banana bread! If you get a chance to try it, leave a recipe rating or comment and let me know your thoughts.

Healthy Dairy Free Banana Bread Recipe (no Sugar Added, Plant Based)
I’m happy to share with you this wonderfully easy, healthy vegan banana bread that I have loved for many years, and look forward to loving for many more to come!
It’s all about the bananas! Banana bread is easy to veganize by adding extra banana, which acts as a binder, replacing the need for eggs or other egg replacers. And as an added benefit, it also helps to lessen the amount of sugar needed. The trick is to use very ripe, freckled bananas, because the riper your bananas are, the less sugar you’ll need! This recipe only calls for 1/3 cup of sugar, but of course you can adjust, up or down, to suit your tastes.
Fats or no fats: In place of using butter or vegetable shortening, I call for oil. But you’ll find this banana bread recipe to have the option of using vegan butter or shortening if you prefer. I’ve also played around with using half oil and half unsweetened almond milk (equaling 1/3 cup) with excellent results. And if you want to skip the fats all together, for an ultra-healthy vegan banana bread, try using unsweetened applesauce – it’s terrific!
Dairy Free Quick Bread Recipes For Yeastless Baking
Spruce up your banana bread with additional add-ins and toppings! Add up to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, fold in chocolate chips, walnuts or pecans to the batter. Or once the batter is in the loaf pan, add a sprinkle of walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, rolled oats, or sunflower seeds over top before baking, they will add texture add protein.
Spoon & level the flour! When measuring your flour, it’s helpful to use the ‘spoon & level’ method, this will ensure you don’t add too much flour. Never scoop the flour with a measuring cup. Instead, using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup, without packing it, and level with the back of a knife.
Don’t overmix the batter! It’s best baking practice when making any type of quick bread to not overmix, overmixing the ingredients will cause the gluten proteins to create an elastic batter that may not rise well. You only want to mix until you don’t see any flour streaks.

Just know that if you don’t have it on hand, you’ll be fine just using baking powder only.
