This easy banana bread is just 3 ingredients and produces a quick bread full of banana flavor. This bread has a similar texture to bread made with yeast but doesn’t require any yeast. This bread also does not contain any butter, oil, eggs, or refined sugar.
This bread wasn’t what I originally intended on making, but I am very happy with the result. I was trying to make a quick cake bread, but instead ended up with a bread that is like yeast bread but without any yeast. This bread recipe is perfect for when you’re low on ingredients or time. It takes just a few minutes to make the batter and then it’s ready to go in the oven.
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own with all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. I provide the exact amounts needed in the recipe box at the end of the post. I have not tested this recipe with whole wheat flour. I think it would work, but it will make the bread drier. If you want to try making it with whole wheat, I recommend only substituting half of the flour with whole wheat. You will also need baking powder and salt.
Three Ingredient Slow Cooker Banana Bread
While you can still make this recipe without a food processor or blender, it is a little harder. You can mash the bananas by hand but you will want very ripe bananas that are easy to break down. You will also have to mash quite a while to eliminate all the bananas lumps. I usually start with a fork and spoon and then switch to a whisk to break down the banana pieces. Your banana bread will also still have the dark specks from the pulp fibers.
Most banana breads have a cake-like texture. This banana bread does not. Instead, it is more like traditional bread that is made with a leavening agent instead of yeast, similar to Irish soda bread.
This bread is also not sweetened. However, you can easily sweeten this bread by adding a few tablespoons of maple syrup or sugar to the batter.

Easy Vegan Banana Bread (no Eggs No Milk No Butter)
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!
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.
The Perfect {vegan} Banana Bread
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.
Methods: Since first posting this recipe, I have since adapted it to be mixed in one bowl making for an easy banana bread! But you’ll also find the original method as well.
Ingredient Vegan Banana Bread (oil Free)
Can I make banana bread gluten-free?Absolutely, you can make banana bread gluten-free by using any gluten-free flour blend or buckwheat flour, replacing 1 – 1 the amount of flour called for.
Can I make this recipe oil-free?Yes! I have made banana bread oil-free by replacing the oil with applesauce, and it was just as good and even healthier. The loaf was a little denser, but the flavor was still great.
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.
Ingredient Banana Brownies {grainfree, Oil Free, Vegan}
Can I freeze banana bread?Sure thing, you can safely store banana bread in the freezer, it will stay fresh for up to 2 months if stored in a freezer safe container or bag. Simply let thaw in the refrigerator before eating. Banana bread can also be stored, covered, on the counter for up to 3 – 4 days. Or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Can I make muffins instead? Yep, and they are so good! You can use this Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe as your guide. If you don’t care for the chocolate chips, omit them altogether or replace them with walnuts.
If you still have a couple of extra bananas leftover from the bunch, try using them in any of these other easy and delicious banana recipes that require just 1 or 2 bananas!

Vegan Oat Flour Banana Bread {gf, Oil Free, Nut Free}
One bowl method: In a medium sized mixing bowl, mash 3 – 4 bananas (about 1 1/2 cups to 1 3/4 cups works well), add oil/applesauce and vanilla extract, mix again. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and mix well, but don’t overmix, just enough until the flour is combined. Batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is ok. If mixture seems too thick, add milk, especially if using heavier flours such as whole wheat or whole spelt (you’re more inclined to need it).
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake for about 50 min – 1 hour. Ovens vary, mine usually takes 50 minutes. You can also do the toothpick test in the center of the loaf, if it comes out clean it should be ready. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 min before slicing.
Original method: In a medium/large size bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, mash bananas. Add the oil, vanilla and bananas to the dry ingredients and mix until combined, do not overmix. If mixture seems too thick, add the almond milk (especially if using heavier flours such as whole wheat or whole spelt, you’re more inclined to need it).
