Get the recipe for the best Eggless Banana Bread. It's easy to make and has the perfect texture. You'll never know this banana bread has no eggs.

Vegan

When I first started baking without eggs, I approached it by taking a recipe, and looking for a substitute for the eggs. I often did 1-for-1 substitutions (for example, replacing the eggs with applesauce).

Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe

Because of my son's egg allergy, I've baked so much without eggs in the past few years. And I've since learned that there are many potential substitutes for eggs. But depending on the recipe, you often can't just do a 1-for-1 substitution.

I've answered those questions for you below about this recipe so you can understand why this recipe works and why it will give you the best Eggless Banana Bread.

TIP: For a quick clean up, use a loaf tin liner. This sits inside your pan and helps you remove the bread easily and cleanly. Perfect if you plan to gift the banana bread.

TIP: Don't take shortcuts with regards to adding in the coconut oil. Make sure you melt the coconut oil and and whisk the batter as you slowly pour in the coconut oil.

Why? Doing so will help make sure you don't get large clumps of coconut oil as it hits the cold ingredients and hardens. This is particularly true if you use cold milk right out of the refrigerator.

Pour the batter into a prepared pan then smooth it out with a spatula to make sure the batter is evenly distributed. Lastly, sprinkle on the oats and turbinado sugar.

Banana Bread Recipe Without Baking Soda

Because we don't use toothpicks regularly at home, a cake tester has become an indispensable tool. It's also handy to check anything - including vegetables, and meats.

I love this egg free banana bread as a quick weekday breakfast. I'll often bake a loaf on Sunday, and we'll enjoy it for several days afterwards.

Sometimes I store it back in the tin and cover with aluminum foil. Though the problem is that it's not airtight that way.

Other times, I cut the loaf in pieces and place them into smaller containers. I also don't like this because I don't want extra open cake faces.

TIP: Having a loaf cake keeper is so handy! The cover snaps over the base, keeping your banana bread fresh. Plus, it's BPA-free and melamine free too.

To store this Eggless Banana Bread, keep it in an airtight container. I'll let it sit out on the counter for 1-2 days, or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Banana Bread With Oil (no Butter Banana Bread)

Dairy-Free banana bread: You can replace the milk with a milk alternative of your choice. As my son is also intolerant to dairy, we use Oatly Oat Milk, and have had great success baking and cooking with Oatly.

Banana

Low sugar banana bread: You can use anywhere between ¼ cup - 1 cup sugar for this recipe. I don't like too much added sugar in our diet, particularly when I'm making these muffins for my toddler, so I typically make this banana bread with ¼ cup sugar, and sometimes even less. Instead, try using a ripe banana for natural sugars and flavor. However, if I'm bringing these to a potluck, or sharing it with friends, to make the recipe taste more like a sweet banana bread you might get at a coffee shop, I would recommend using up to the full 1 cup of sugar.

Best Banana Bread

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.

Eggless

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!

Our Favorite Banana Bread

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.

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.
