I've posted quite a few different recipes for various flavours of vegan banana bread before; but I realised recently that I have never actually written up the recipe for my basic, easy vegan banana bread.
This easy vegan banana bread may be basic, but it is anything but boring. It is a super simple recipe that uses just regular store cupboard ingredients but results in a beautifully moist, tender, fluffy, flavourful banana bread that easily rivals any egg and dairy laden variety.
Seriously The Best Vegan Banana Bread
Light brown soft sugar - brown sugar gives the banana bread flavour and extra moisture, but it will still work well with white sugar if you don't have brown.
Oil or vegan block butter - you can use a neutral flavoured oil such as sunflower, vegetable or canola oil, or use melted coconut oil or melted vegan block butter. All of these options work well. (Oil might give a sliiightly more moist texture than butter but both are good. The one in the photos was made with melted butter (Naturli Vegan Block)).
Plain flour - I like this vegan banana bread best made with regular plain white flour but you can also swap about a third of it for wholemeal flour if you like. Or replace the plain flour with white spelt flour.
Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe
Non-dairy milk: soy milk is best for baking as it has the highest protein content but any variety will work (except tinned coconut milk).
Cider or white wine vinegar: a little bit of vinegar reacts with the bicarbonate of soda to help the banana bread rise. You could swap it for a teaspoon of lemon juice if you don't have vinegar.
Vanilla and cinnamon: I like to add a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavour but you can leave it out if you don't have it. I kept the cinnamon fairly minimal to enhance the banana flavour rather than overpower it but you can add more if you like. A ¼ tsp of ground nutmeg would be a lovely addition too!
Healthy Vegan Banana Bread
Start by whisking together plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl using a balloon whisk.
Next, mash your bananas very well with a fork and add them to the bowl of flour along with light brown soft sugar, your choice of oil or melted butter, non-dairy milk, cider or white wine vinegar and vanilla extract.
Gently whisk everything together until no dry lumps remain but be careful not to over-beat the batter as that can make the cake tough.

Pour the batter into your greased and lined tin and spread it level. Bake for about 50-60 minutes until the banana bread is springy to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. If the top starts to get too dark before it is ready you can loosely cover it with tin foil.
Cool in the tin for ten minutes then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to five days.
This easy vegan banana bread is delicious as it is but it also works really well with mix-ins. Why not try adding about 125g of chocolate chips, roughly chopped nuts, raisins or other dried fruit?
The Best Vegan Banana Bread You'll Ever Eat
Yes. this easy vegan banana bread freezes really well. Either place it in an airtight freezer-proof container or ziplock bag or wrap it well before freezing.
Allow to defrost at room temperature. Once defrosted it is nice if you give it 10 seconds in the microwave to refresh it.

Perfect Vegan Banana Bread (super Moist)

It is the perfect way to use up those brown bananas and is really adaptable, add whatever mix-ins you like! Eggless and dairy-free with NO weird egg replacers.
For the best results make sure that you follow the recipe closely. As always, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup conversions. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough for baking and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Spelt Banana Bread With Pecans & Chocolate Chunks
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!
Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
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.

Can I make banana bread without baking soda?Yes, oftentimes I will make banana bread using 2 heaping teaspoons baking powder with great results, but I have left the baking soda in the recipe because I know some may prefer to add it as it does also help brown the top of the loaf. Just know that if you don’t have it on hand, you’ll be fine just using baking powder only.
