This vegan banana bread is a total winner folks and a no fail recipe! It’s the only banana bread recipe you will ever need! You’ll love it! Read on for the recipe!😊
How to make Vegan Banana Bread?
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9×5 non stick loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Add the overripe bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. Whisk in the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well.
Now add the dry ingredients on top starting with the flour, then add the baking soda, salt and cinnamon on top of the flour. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts (if using)
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (I usually bake it for 60 minutes).
Remove banana bread from pan and cool on a cooling rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. Or cool completely and then slice.
Serve with or without vegan butter. Tastes even better the next day!! Enjoy!

What can I sub for oil ?
With this banana bread recipe you can use apple sauce in place of the oil. It works well, but I do prefer the texture when using oil.
What can I use to replace the eggs in vegan banana bread?
People have used flax eggs or apple sauce. I use vegan yogurt as an egg replacement. It works the best in my opinion!
Can you freeze Banana Bread?
Absolutely! I wrap and freeze the slices individually in plastic wrap for easy access when you want a quick breakfast or snack. You can also wrap and freeze the loaf whole. It will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Ok let’s make some Vegan Banana Bread! It’s:

Notes
- you can use melted vegan butter or refined coconut oil in place of grapeseed oil. (I prefer grapeseed oil)
- For oil free: use applesauce instead of oil (Oil is my preference)
- For gluten free: use a gluten free flour blend and you could also use a white whole wheat flour or a spelt flour in place of all purpose flour. I like recipe best as written.
- For nut free: omit the walnuts
- banana bread will keep covered on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week and freezes well. Slice and wrap individually in plastic wrap to freeze.
- Calories listed do not include dairy free chocolate chips
