If your vegan banana breads turn out dry and crumbly, you need to try this Perfectly Moist Vegan Banana Bread recipe! It’s soft and fluffy and perfectly sweet!
I love to bake this Perfectly Moist Vegan Banana Bread on the weekend to use up any over-ripe bananas I didn’t get to during the week. There’s just something really nice about having homemade banana bread in the house and it’s perfect for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or as a warm dessert topped with ice cream!
Vegan banana bread for when nothing but a classic piece of homemade banana bread will do. This diary-free and vegan version is made with simple pantry ingredients like over-ripe bananas, cinnamon and vanilla. It’s quick to prep and it smells so good when it’s baking in the oven!
Vegan Banana Bread (with Easy To Find Ingredients!)
This is everything you need to make Perfectly Moist Vegan Banana Bread: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, water and very ripe bananas. Instead of eggs I use ground flax seeds and I love sprinkling some crunchy walnuts or vegan chocolate chips on top but that is completely optional.
How to Make Perfectly Moist Vegan Banana Bread Instead of chicken’s eggs, I use a flax egg so start by mixing ground flax seeds with water and set it aside to thicken.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then add some cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk it all up.

The cinnamon is subtle in this recipe but it really compliments the sweetness of the bananas and takes this recipe to the next level!
In another bowl whisk the sugar and melted coconut oil. I like to use refined coconut oil instead of virgin because it doesn’t add a coconut flavor to the banana bread.
Whisk until light and fluffy then add the vanilla and the thickened flax “egg.” Mix it all up until light and fluffy.
Gluten Free And Vegan Banana Bread
Then comes a special technique that makes the texture of this banana bread super moist and delicious. It’s really easy, it’s just about alternating the wet and dry ingredients.
To do this simply add half of the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir a few times to combine. Once mostly combined add th remaining dry ingredients.
The trick here is mix just until the dry ingredients are absorbed and then stop. Over-mixing leads to tough, rubbery banana bread!

Stir that in and finish with the remaining bananas. Stir until incorporated and finish with the remaining water. Mix until well incorporated.
Pro Tip: Allow the banana bread to cool on a wire rack! I know it’s hard to resist digging in immediately –
– but waiting at least 30 minutes will allow air to flow all the way around the banana bread which helps it cool evenly….this creates a nice crumb structure and again, Perfectly Moist Vegan Banana Bread. I think it’s worth the wait for the professional bakery-style results 👩🏻🍳
Ingredient Vegan Banana Bread
I haven’t tested this recipe with gluten-free flour yet but I think using a 1:1 ratio all purpose gluten-free flour like this one from Bob’s Red Mill would work pretty well. Just don’t use a different flour like almond or coconut flour because that won’t work for this recipe.
Refined coconut oil is ideal for baking because it doesn’t import a coconut flavor into the dish. Look for “refined” on the label instead of “virgin.”
Over-ripe, brown, spotty bananas are best for making flavorful and moist banana bread but if your bananas aren’t quite ripe enough yet, you might want to add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to this recipe to balance the flavor.

Hey! I'm Nicole and I make practical vegan recipes for REAL life. I cook with simple, easy to find ingredients and I'm passionate about creating delicious plant-based meals that everyone will love! I hope you enjoy my recipes and videos :) Happy Cooking!Did I tell you guys I started my Fall garden? Sometimes I completely forget what I’ve already shared. If I have, just act like you’re reading it for the time okay. Hey, guess what, I started a Fall garden!! Yep, my non-green thumb self, and I’m pumped because my collard’s greens have started to grow so big! I started them from seeds (something I usually don’t do) and placed them in empty eggshells halves. When it was time to plant them I just gently broke the shells, placed the seedling into the plant bed, and sprinkled the crushed shells around them. I wonder if this is what’s making them grow so quickly? I’ve never had this type of quick success with plants!

Either way, I’m so excited because this will be the start of my Grandma Barb Memorial Garden. I showed you guys her amazing garden in my collard green video and I think she has left me with her love of gardening because I’ve been so intrigued by it lately. This Fall I’m only planting collards, cabbage, and potatoes but it’s on and popping once Spring gets here. I can’t wait to show you guys! I’ve been working like crazy building raised plant beds, plotting out my garden, and preparing the space.
I took a much-needed break from the dirt and headed into the kitchen to make some banana bread! Now, I hadn’t planned on making this vegan but I realized at the last minute that I was out of eggs (my chicken is on strike for some reason) and I only had 3 tablespoons of butter! Huh??? That NEVER happens around here! Ha! That goes to show you just how consumed I’ve been with this memorial garden project!
Anyway, after making this vegan banana bread I knew I had to share it with you guys! I’ve already made it twice since. It’s so doggone easy, delicious, and gorgeous!! It can be added to the list of vegan desserts on this site that “don’t taste vegan!” Like these vegan chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This vegan banana bread seriously tastes like regular banana bread. It’s so moist and fluffy! Full of fresh banana flavor with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Not to mention it has such beautiful moist cracks and crevices which I love. It’s the perfect gift-giving or shipping bread because, like all banana bread, the flavor is even better the next day!
For testing purposing, after I made the first batch of bread (which is perfect and the one I’m sharing today) I decided to try another batch. This time I decreased this almond milk and added flax eggs (ground flaxseed + water). While the texture of the finished bread was fine, the taste was lil to “nutty and bran tasting”. There is no need to add any egg replacements. Since bananas and oil are good egg substitutes, banana bread is the perfect recipe to “Veganize” IMO.
I love that this vegan banana bread has such simple ingredients. If you don’t normally keep vegan ingredients in your home you’ll only need to purchase some vegan butter and almond milk. Both can be found in most grocery stores.
Eggless Banana Bread
Great question! I get this question often when I post vegan recipes that use sugar. Some vegans are not opposed to white sugar as long as the brand uses vegan-friendly practices like Imperial Sugar. White sugar is avoided by some vegans because the process of lightening it often uses bone char.
There isn’t any bone char in the sugar, but since it’s a part of the process, it makes it non-vegan. Cane sugar is the BEST replacement (as far as taste) if you prefer not to use regular white sugar. However, surprisingly many cane sugar brands are NOT certified vegan so be sure to check if that’s super important to you.
All of the vegans in my family are ok with regular sugar, so that is what I often use. If I’m making vegan recipes for other people I always check to see how strict they are when it comes to sugar and follow their guidelines. I’m always learning something new in the vegan world!

Just today I was told that some vegans don’t get tattoos because black tattoo ink is made with charred animal bones. Whodathunkit! Whatever way you lean when it comes to regular or cane sugar, this banana bread recipe will taste the same with whichever one you choose! Now I can’t promise that if you go replacing the sugar with monk fruit and thing like that.
This banana bread is so incredible as is but if you want to kick it up a notch with some add-ins, try these!
