This healthy vegan banana bread is sweetened naturally with dates and bananas for a delicious, moist, and healthy morning or midday sweet bread. Prepare this easy quick bread recipe in just 10 minutes. Then sit back with a cup of tea and relax while you watch it bake.
I originally published this recipe in March of 2016. It was a significant post in that it was my first recipe back after a year and a half hiatus from the blog; a hiatus I took while I survived the darkest time in my life. At that time in my life I was very uncertain if I had a future with this blog and it was only from the encouragement of a couple of dear friends that I decided to pick it back up again.
While I love the reminder of what I've been through, I'd much rather embrace the present that is so simply good. And since you seem to love my vegan muffins and quick bread, I think it's time to revisit this healthy vegan banana bread for a quick and delicious recipe I am certain you will love.
Buckwheat Banana Bread
I love this recipe and I think you will too! This vegan quick bread is moist, rich, and naturally sweetened. It is the perfect morning pastry or a midday snack.
For this banana bread recipe, you will need a mixing bowl, utensils, a wire cooling rack, a loaf pan, and basic kitchen utensils.
Like most quick bread, this banana bread is nearly fail-proof. As long as you can whisk and blend, you should be able to make this deeply satisfying vegan quick bread in no time.

Drain the dates and place them in a food processor with the bananas, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend the ingredients until a smooth purée forms. You will need to scrape down the sides of the food process a couple of times to make sure you get all the bananas and dates.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to mix the date/banana mixture into the flour until the flour is fully hydrated.
Pro Tip: Do not overmix your batter. Overmixing allows the gluten to develop and too much gluten will give you gummy and dense muffins.
No Sugar Aloud
Add the walnuts into the batter and fold them in with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are evenly distributed. The goal with folding is to get the walnuts fully incorporated into the batter without overmixing the batter. To do this, use a wooden spoon or plastic spatula and fold the batter from bottom to top in a “C” shape.
Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes at 350 F. The baking time will vary depending on your oven. After about 50 minutes, you can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the loaf. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, your banana bread is done.
One of the biggest reasons I love this vegan banana bread is because there are so many flavor variations. A few of my favorites mix-ins to add are:
The Best Gluten Free Vegan Banana Bread
Tightly wrap uneaten bread and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best results, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in a large ziplock bag. This bread can be frozen. To thaw the banana bread, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. Once it is thawed, it should be eaten within 3 days.
If you want to make this bread batter in advance, store the batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
To bake the bread, preheat the oven and bake according to the instructions. However, these bread may take a few minutes longer to bake since the batter will be chilled. The bread will also be slightly denser as the baking soda begins to activate once it’s mixed into the batter, causing it to be slightly less potent.

Banana Walnut Breakfast Loaf. Gluten Free Banana Walnut Bread Vegan Gum Free Recipe
All the breads were adapted from this straightforward and incredibly simple recipe with ingredients you probably already have on hand. I’ve made it again and again, and it has not disappointed me yet!
I’m happy to share with you this wonderfully easy, healthy banana bread 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. As an added benefit, you’ll be able to use less sugar. The trick is using very ripe, freckled bananas because the riper the 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.
Spelt Banana Bread With Nuts
Use oil, butter, or applesauce (fats or no fats): I call for oil in place of butter or vegetable shortening, 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 altogether, 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, or fold in chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans to the batter. Once the batter is in the loaf pan, sprinkle walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, rolled oats, or sunflower seeds over top before baking. They will add texture and 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.
Healthy Banana Walnut Bread
Don’t overmix the batter! It’s best baking practice when making any type of quick bread not to 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 adapted it to be mixed in one bowl, making for easy banana bread with fewer dishes to wash!
Start by adding the very ripe bananas to the bottom of a medium mixing bowl and mash well. Add the remaining wet ingredients and stir well.

Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly
