Vegan Bread Recipe Baking Powder

There is nothing like the smell of warm homemade bread that has just come out of the oven. It has a happy, cozy feeling attached to it. Which I think we could all use more of.

Traditional homemade bread uses yeast but if you don't have it or the stores are all sold out, don't fear! This delicious yeast-free bread is made using baking powder!

Ingredient

This bread is more like a crusty country bread than a light and fluffy sandwich bread. Of course, you can and absolutely should make sandwiches with it! And toast slathered in butter (oh my, so good.)

Recipe Of The Month

Make sure your baking powder is still active! To test it, add a teaspoon of baking powder to a bowl, then pour ½ cup of very hot water over it. If it bubbles heavily, the baking powder is good to go! If not, open a new can of baking powder or make a DIY version if you're in a pinch!

The best part of this bread is how easy it is to make! With no yeast, there is no need to let the bread rise, and there is very little kneading necessary.

If you'd like to prep a few loaves ahead of time, you can freeze this bread dough for up to 3 months. Form into a disc, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in an airtight freezer bag or container.

Easy No Yeast Vegan Bread

Because homemade bread does not contain preservatives, it won't last very long if left on the counter at room temperature. I typically only leave my bread out for a day. After that, store in the fridge or freezer.

Note that the bread won't be very crusty after the first day. You can stick the loaf back in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes to get that crusty top back.

Apple cider vinegar helps with the rise and the softness of the bread; however, not everyone likes a super soft sandwich bread and so if that’s you, we would recommend omitting it. Otherwise, add it!

You can use any non-dairy milk in this recipe. We do recommend that you stay away from strong flavors like coconut, banana, etc.

The only ingredient that we need to worry about is the flour as any dairy free milk can be used, so just use one safe for your allergies.

We have not tested this recipe with gluten free flour, but based on other testing it should work, it would just again be more dense as gluten free flour has a tendency to be.

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.

Gluten Free Bread Recipe For An Oven Or Bread Machine

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.

Oatmeal Bread (no Yeast & No Knead!)

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.

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.

Ingredient

Gluten Free Multiseed Bread

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.

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.

No Buttermilk Soda Bread (vegan & Dairy Free)

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.
