Vegan Banana Bread
Vegan Banana Bread is a moist, fluffy, and naturally sweet quick bread that makes the most of overripe bananas. This version is completely plant-based, using no eggs or dairy, yet delivers classic flavor with warm cinnamon and optional nuts or chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert — and even better the next day!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed, about 1¼ cups)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Cooking Steps
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the bananas well. Stir in coconut oil, brown sugar, plant-based milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 3
Sift in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
Step 4
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and add extra banana slices or a sprinkle of nuts if desired.
Step 5
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil in the last 10 minutes.
Step 6
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
