We have substituted the butter for applesauce in this plant-based banana bread recipe. Using applesauce makes it oil-free and low fat, too.
Vegan Banana Bread (no Sugar Added)
Apple sauce is a fantastic substitute for oil or butter in baked goods like quick breads, banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, muffins or brownies.
While this recipe does include cane sugar and brown sugar, you can use coconut sugar instead. Coconut sugar is a good option if you're following a whole food plant based diet and are refined sugar free.
If you are trying to cut back on your refined sugar, coconut sugar is also a good option, since it's also granulated (not liquid like maple syrup, agave nectar or date syrup).

I've also reduced the sugar in this recipe successfully by up to half what the recipe calls for. So, you can certainly test that with your own loaf, if you'd like it to be less sweet.
Almond flour or almond meal: I've successfully substituted up to ¼ of the flour for almond meal or almond flour. Keep in mind that this will increase the fat and protein content of your banana bread.
Typically I use a white whole wheat flour from Trader Joe's to make this, but you can also use straight whole wheat flour or white all-purpose flour. Or, use any combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to make this recipe.
Applesauce Bread (vegan + Oil Free)
This vegan banana bread rises using a combo of vegan buttermilk and baking soda. The banana bread rises without eggs because of the reaction between the apple cider vinegar (an acid) plus the baking soda (a base).
Yes, banana bread freezes really well. To defrost, remove from freezer and warm it up in the microwave, toaster or 325 degree oven, until center is warm.
Use unsweetened applesauce as a direct substitute for oil in oil-free banana bread. If the recipe calls for ½ cup of oil, use ½ cup of applesauce instead.
Eggless Banana Bread Recipe
Pro tip: each individually packaged applesauce cup with the foil top is ½ cup, so no need to dirty a measuring spoon.
Traditional banana bread is made with eggs and butter, both of which are animal products. So, that banana bread would not be vegan. But, you can easily make a vegan version of banana bread by substituting the eggs and butter with ingredients like applesauce, oil, flax eggs, vinegar and baking soda, etc.
Yes, it does. If you've never made vegan baked goods, be aware that they take longer to bake than their traditional counterparts. So, don't be surprised when it takes well over an hour for your bread to bake and be done in the center. This is normal. Just keep an eye on it and keeping checking for doneness by inserting a clean, dry butter knife into the center of the loaf.
No Sugar Added Banana Bread With Applesauce
Be sure to use a non-stick loaf pan when baking banana bread made of silicone, stoneware or metal with a non-stick coating. If your loaf tin is no longer non-stick or you just don't trust it, then line the inside of your loaf pan with parchment paper! This is a guarantee for your banana bread to turn out without sticking!
Yes! Just make sure they are completely thawed before using them. Also, include the liquid that forms when they thaw when mashing your bananas for the recipe. Keep in mind that sometimes frozen bananas are darker, so this may affect the color of your baked banana bread.
Feel free to throw in a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter, for a vegan, oil-free banana nut bread (I love both in mine!).
Vegan Banana Bread (dairy Free)
My favorite, indulgent way to amp it up is to chop up a handful of dark chocolate covered walnuts and throw them in.
The rich dark chocolate speckled in the bread is just scrumptious. It really does become dessert and I'm totally cool with that. Vegan banana bread with dark chocolate covered walnuts? A thousand times yes.
Toast it just a touch to warm it up. Or, eat it cold. Great for snacks while you're out running errands. And, perfect with a cuppa hot tea or coffee.
The Best Vegan Banana Bread
I'm eating a slice cold straight out of the fridge as I type for... inspiration. Yeah, that's it. I need inspiration. Excuse me as I wipe the crumbs from my face.
Recommended tea to pair with banana bread: Assam, Nilgiri, English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast with or without oat milk. The Art of Tea has lots of delicious teas to choose from.

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.
Best Vegan Banana Bread With Applesauce Recipes
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!
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.
Vegan Banana Bread (easy + Healthy)
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.
