Bake the best vegan banana bread that is incredibly moist, fluffy, and flavorful using just one simple bowl. This easy, egg-free recipe delivers satisfying comfort food without the cleanup hassle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 very ripe, mashed large bananas (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (like almond or soy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (optional: vegan chocolate chips or chopped walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  3. In a separate, smaller bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, plant milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips or nuts now.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best moisture and sweetness.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute the oil with melted vegan butter.
  • If you want a slightly healthier treat, substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • This bread stays moist for several days when stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.
