As soon as this recipe was highlighted on Instagram I knew I had to try it immediately! Iāve been looking for the perfect vegan banana bread recipe and this did not disappoint! It is moist, has the perfect amount of sweetness, and doesnāt use any hard to find ingredients (which is always a possibility when making vegan baked goods). This will be my standard vegan banana bread recipe from now on! Itās perfection.

This recipe is awesome!! Iām about to make it again, and trying to remember how I tweaked it last time, but I used sunflower oil and didnāt use any milk, just a tad bit more oil ā this was the closest I could get to the āWoodsā banana bread recipe! Iāve been trying to make banana bread similar, and I think itās the sunflower oil that gives it such good flavor and aroma! I say try it!!

Unfortunately this recipe just didnāt work out for me ā I baked it with hope to share with a group of co-workers, one who is Vegan and I tasted it and got my household to taste it after I sliced it . I used coconut oil, kept it plain (didnāt have Vegan CCs) ā only difference was I used water instead of 2TB dairy free milk and added 1tsp of 100% pure Maple syrup.
Myself and 2 taste testers felt it had a strong baking powder taste, did not taste good at all, and tasted quite bland⦠so Iām sorry it was a miss from us.
That said, I do appreciate your work in your helpfully written blog post and clear easy to follow recipe .

Wonderful recipe. My first time making a vegan banana bread. I followed the recipe using whole wheat flour and used 1/4 cup of coconut sugar instead of 1/2 cup as I prefer less sweetness. Didnāt have almond milk so used water instead, and added walnuts. Texture was great, but I may add an extra tbsp of water next time for additional moistness. Thank you for the recipe!

Vegan or not this is 100% my favorite banana bread recipe!! Perfect texture and ingredients are so simple. I use 100% whole wheat flour and love it, adds a good crust without throwing off the sweetness or crumb. Whole wheat flour absorbed more liquid so I either cut back a little on the flour or add a little extra milk.

This banana bread was amazing, and i actually decided to use oat flour instead of reg. flour because i figured itād taste great alongside the bananas (i measured out the oats to be 1 3/4 cups and blended them into flour). This Banana bread reminded me of the Cliff Chocolate Chip bars in the absolute best way. I always add allspice and cinnamon to my banana breads and i totally recommend it!

This turned out fantastic! I was really happy to not have to deal with egg substitute for this one. My batter was *really* thick when I stirred everything together, so I added an extra banana (for a total of 4). That made the mix combine much better. I made an oat and walnut streusel for the top!

The bread came out moist, sadly, it barely had a taste of bananas or sweetness. I followed the ingredients (and instructions) to a T, except I had to use olive oil instead of coconut oil, Perhaps the olive oil saturated the banana taste. I was inspired by the rave reviews & excited to bake it. Unfortunate that my experience didnāt quite live up to the glowing reviews.

Hello,
Thank you for the recipe, it is delicious, however the batter was too tick, way to tick, so much I had to add like 1/2 cup of milk to be able to combine all the ingredients. To confirm is 1 cup and 3/4 of flour?
Turned out great though and very delicious!

The changes I made were: I chopped about a quarter of one of the bananas and folded in at the end so that some larger chunks of banana would remain in the batter, and I also added a pinch of nutmeg.

I just made this recipe after having some bananas ripen much faster than I anticipated. I ended up using all purpose flour since thatās all I had on hand, oat milk, and added in walnuts at the end.

I had such a craving for banana bread and had ripe bananas but was missing staple ingredients like eggs. So I found this recipe thankful I wouldnāt need any! I used chickpea flour to make it g-free and used coconut sugar instead of brown and holy.smokes. This is most definitely my new favorite banana bread ever. My 2 year old keeps asking for more.

This was wonderful made just as your recipe is written! I did decorate the top before baking with ten pecan halves (to suggest where to cut the ten servings!) and placed a chocolate chip at the end of each one just because I could. It came out beautifully and the slice I took to my 98 year-old mother was deemed, āDelicious!ā A couple slices were my dinner and I have no regrets, especially since thereās at least half left for tomorrow. Will it taste better then as you suggest? Itās hard to imagine, but Iāll have sweet dreams just thinking about it! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Very good base recipe, my only concern was that baking soda requires an acid in order to activate the rise, so I added a cap-ful of white distilled vinegar to the wet ingredients, it came out great. It doesnāt look like anyone else had issues with the rise, so maybe thereās enough acid in the brown sugar to activate the baking soda. However for folks that used alternative sugars and had problems with the recipe, this could be the problem. You could try the vinegar approach, it doesnāt negatively impact the flavor at all.

I have tried this recipe with both coconut sugar, and 0 calories sugar replacers multiple times . Itās perfect either way! Calories are spot on. For
Me, it comes to about 4 GM of protein using regular four, and 214 calories for 1/10 slice. This is a family favorite recipe and itās gone in days š„°

itās really very good. I had the idea of adding some matcha 1T and ginger 1t to it, and used coconut cream in place of the 2T of non dairy milk. My only quibble- and this with all recipes with baking soda ā is that you can taste it faintly in the background. I will try with baking powder next time.

Wow! What a great recipe! I did do some minor adjustments to make it healthier. I subbed the coconut oil (nobody should use it, 100% saturated fat!) with unsweetened applesauce, and used a WWpastry flour but only had 1 c so used garbanzo flour for the 1/2c. Added walnuts/choc chips mixed in the batter then chopped up peanuts for the top. It was amazing! I have a FOK recipe I always use but wanted to change it up. What a treat it was. I also used just coconut palm sugar instead of refined brown sugar. This is a staple now in my house. Thank you for the amazing recipe!

Iām going to be the odd one out and say this was ok flavour wise, but dense as written, the first time I made it. I gave it another shot today using 1T baking powder instead of baking soda and it came out light and fluffy. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an acid to activate, which this recipe has none. Baking powder only needs heat and moisture to become active so is a better leavening agent in this instance.

Made the loaf with 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 3 very ripe and brown bananas, 1/2 cup coconut milk (i had leftover from a can from another recipe), whole wheat organic flour and a little over a 1/2 cup of mixed cacao and dark chocolate vegan chips. They rose nicely in the pans and theyāre not too sweet, but just the way I prefer. Also added a little more than 1/2 cup chopped walnuts bc I like bread to be filled with interesting textures and flavors. I put the mix into 3 small greased loaf pans with no parchment and they cam out easily. Gave 2 away as gifts and am trying to control the urge to eat the remaining loaf in one day. Itās so good. Will try with some peanut butter later! Thank you.

Be very careful when melting the coconut oil. It burns VERY quickly and will catch fire in the microwave. A pot with hot water from the sink, was sufficient to liquify the oil in its container.
My husband said, āThis is good.ā I thought it was a bit too sweet. The crumb and texture worked for us, which was surprising, in light of the recipe being eggless and vegan.

The recipe was quick and easy to follow, I made large muffins instead of a loaf so that I could add nuts to mine and leave the out for my daughter. She was nervous about them being vegan but loved them!

Hi there. Iām reading the reviews and people are going bananas for this recipe (haha)! Thank you SO much for the tip about pouring off the liquid from the frozen bananas. I suspect that has been my problem with all past banana breads being dense/gummy. Canāt wait to try this recipe, but first a question that I noticed one person asked but didnāt get a reply. I always weigh my flour because I spent a lot of years baking with too much flour. Everyone spoons/scoops their flour differently and the weight variations can make a HUGE difference. Thanks so much. Also looking forward to exploring your site more.

VERY good recipe! I made this tonight with 5 small, ripe bananas I had sitting on my counter. I subbed olive oil for coconut oil and used vanilla bean paste instead of extract. The inside was moist (sry) and the outside had a little crust on it. I didnāt add nuts because my bf is alergic, but it was amazing even without.

Iām totally confused. How could this work for anyone? 2 tablespoons of milk is not enough for this batter with 1 3/4 cups of flour even with the other wet ingredients. It was so dry and impossible to mix. I added a lot more milk but was not sure about the proportions. Did not work for me.

Thank you Monique, and for comments by other readers ā I benefitted from all your experiences!! This is really a superb recipe!! I am not a baker, and this turned out really well on my first try with substitutions.
I used:
⢠Flour ā āAtta with multigrainsā ā ingredients: Wheat, Soya, Channa, Oat, Maize, Psyllium Husk (Aashirwaad brand)
⢠2 overripe and 1 just ripe bananas, the latter chopped in rounds and then quartered)
⢠1/2 cup of moist chopped Deglet Nour dates (instead of sugarā¦no sugar added)
⢠3 heaped tablespoons of plain lowfat yogurt (needed more wet stuff to absorb the multigrain flour)
⢠1/4 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg (no vanilla in my pantry)
⢠A squeeze of 1/8 of a juicy lime (to active the b. soda)
⢠Extra virgin olive oil
All other ingredients were the same.
It turned out moist and sweet enough for me, and I could see and taste small bits of banana, dates, and walnuts in the first slice.

Followed the recipe to a T except for I used 1/4 less flour than called for ā even still it was SO dry. The flavour is nice but itās hard to swallow. It was my first attempt at vegan banana bread. My usual non vegan banana bread recipe is almost identical except it includes 1 egg and only uses 1 cup of flour, so to lose the moisture of the egg AND use more flour seemed weird to me. Wish I had followed my gut.

Sorry to hear that! Were your bananas VERY ripe? That will contribute to both the sweetness and the correct amount of moisture. Be sure youāre not packing your flour, too, and instead using the spoon & level method (

So lovely! 100% recommend, especially given the price of eggs these days. You wonāt even miss them in this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this. I will definitely make again.
In case anyone is also using a 9Ć5 pan, it took ~45 minutes in my oven.
Note for anyone looking to sub the coconut oil: I used butter (50g) and oil (20g) and it worked really well. Itās not vegan anymore, but if you arenāt vegan, I can attest the bread is still delectable with dairy =D

Hi Katie! Sorry to hear that this one didnāt work out for you. The bananas actually act as the binding agent in here to keep it vegan. Can you let me know what happened during the baking process? Iād love to help troubleshoot as this is a very popular banana bread on my site!

My daughter is vegan so I substituted the 2 eggs with 2Tbl flax seeds with 6Tbl water and let it sit for 5 min. The bread came out delicious. I also used the chocolate chips.
Thank you

I substituted maple extract for the vanilla (I ran out!) and didnāt add the sugar but did use a 1/4 cup more of dark chocolate chips. Amazing! You truly donāt miss the sugar if your bananas are super overripe.

This is my all time favorite vegan muffin (really my all time favorite muffin) recipe, and at least one of my childrenās too! I probably make them once a month- especially when we have lots of overripe bananas. It is is a slightly healthier muffin with the oats and flax meal in it. I usually include dark chocolate chips in it and replace the sugar with maple syrup (using only 1/4 of maple syrup).

Hi! Are you weighing your ingredients? It sounds like there could be too much flour or the batter is being overmixed (which leads to a gummy texture).

New fave banana bread recipe!! I used 3 large super ripe bananas, think I accidentally grabbed the 1/4 c instead of 1/3 c for the oil (used coconut oil and didnāt wait long for it to cool after microwaving it to melt it), just 1/3 c sugar (and might use less next time, but I like my breads not to be v sweet and the bananas were so ripe already), used all whole wheat flour and didnāt measure the mylk ā just splashed it in til the texture looked right lol ā and put in a heaping 1/2 c of dark chocolate chips. Baked in I think an 8 x 9 (?) pan in the toaster oven for about 45min and it was nice and toasty and crisp on the top. Great texture! I will decrease the sugar next time and maybe try to decrease the oil some more / partially replace with more banana or maybe aquafaba or applesauce. Also will try to sub the oil with pb since pb + banana + chocolate = amazingness. Thanks for sharing this recipe ā def saving for next time!

Iāve been making these for years, I love making it with whole wheat flour and obviously mention it to anyone I share it with along with it being began. I always get a disbelieving look.

Im trying a modified version of this recipe. Instead of the brown sugar, I used a little agave. Im also trying oat flour to make it gluten free. This is my favorite go-to for a gluten free flour as coconut and almond are usually very dry and thirsty. But oat is as close to all purpose as Iāve yet discovered!

When I first published this recipe a few years back I remember I was waiting for Viggo to be born. Time really does fly as here I am 3 years later with Sidney, Viggo, and Lachlan by my side! During that time I was constantly dreaming about banana bread everything and anything. My sweet tooth was ravenous those last few weeks being pregnant with Viggo. Pretty funny because I feel like I hadnāt had a sweet tooth all pregnancy until the end.
Along with Viggo, thatās where this **vegan banana bread** was born! I love toasting a slice, slathering it with peanut butter and a drizzle of honey, and of course, a generous sprinkle of sea salt. Thereās nothing I love more for my 3pm HANGRY mama snack.
Anyway, this vegan banana bread truly is the best. Itās simple to make, customizable, easy and DAMN GOOD. Let me know how you like it by rating the recipe & leaving a comment. xo\!

## The BEST vegan banana bread
Oh yes, yes it does exist! I spent weeks perfecting this vegan banana bread recipe so that it had the right amount of sweetness, moisture and fluff factor. Itās safe to say youāre going to fall in love with this gorgeous loaf. So, what makes this vegan banana bread special?
- **It doesnāt use alternative eggs.** Instead of making this banana bread vegan by using flax eggs or chia eggs, I simplified it even further so that there are no special ingredients necessary. The bananas actually act as an egg alternative in this recipe, similar to my [vegan banana bread cinnamon rolls](https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/vegan-banana-bread-cinnamon-rolls/ "Vegan Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls")\!
- **It can be made gluten free.** I knew Iād get questions about making this vegan banana bread gluten free as well, so I provided some options for you in the notes section.
- **You can easily jazz it up.** I love adding walnuts and chocolate chips to this vegan banana bread, but the options are endless. Itās delicious as-is without any mix-ins, too\!

## Ingredients in this vegan banana bread
As I mentioned, this vegan banana bread recipe uses pantry staples to make it easy and accessible. Youāll make this one again and again! Hereās everything you need to make it:
- **Bananas:** youāll need three RIPE bananas to sweeten this vegan banana bread. I love when my bananas have lots of brown spots. If you use frozen bananas, youāll need to thaw them out completely and then drain all of the liquid.
- **Coconut oil:** a little melted [coconut oil](https://linksta.io/cfacfc4b/wp) gives the bread the perfect amount of moisture. Of course, youāre welcome to use vegan butter, olive oil, walnut oil, hazelnut oil, etc. However, I LOVE the flavor virgin coconut oil gives the bread.
- **Brown sugar:** I like to use regular [brown sugar](https://linksta.io/a2ac061e/wp) in this recipe for that delicious hint of molasses flavor, but youāre welcome to use coconut sugar as well.
- **Dairy free milk:** youāll also need just a couple tablespoons of your fav dairy free milk for additional moisture.
- **Flour:** weāre using good old [all purpose flour](https://linksta.io/49df9327/wp) in this vegan banana bread to give it the perfect texture. Whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour will also work well, but please see the note section of the recipe. Also, see below for my recommended gluten free substitutions\!
- **Baking staples:** all good banana breads have vanilla extract, baking soda, a pinch of [cinnamon](https://linksta.io/68f0f056/wp) and salt.
- **Optional add-ins:** this vegan banana bread is amazing with [chocolate chips](https://linksta.io/e4b91dee/wp) (make sure theyāre dairy free/vegan to keep the bread vegan) and [chopped walnuts](https://linksta.io/45864b46/wp) or pecans, but you do you\!

## AK approved substitutions
I always recommend following the recipe as-is for the best results, but if youāre out of any ingredients here are some easy swaps that should work well in this vegan banana bread:
- **Swap the oil.** If you donāt have any coconut oil or need to keep the bread nut free, feel free to use melted vegan butter (and omit the nuts). Other oils that work well include olive oil, hazelnut oil or walnut oil.
- **Go refined sugar free.** [Coconut sugar](https://linksta.io/a3ec59dd/wp) will work well in place of the brown sugar in this recipe.
- **Use whole grains.** If youād like, you can use [whole wheat pastry flour](https://linksta.io/fbd031f2/wp) or white whole wheat flour. Please note that if you use regular whole wheat flour you may need to add a couple more tablespoons of milk to provide a little extra moisture.
- **Gluten free options.** I think [chickpea flour](https://linksta.io/fc4795c2/wp) or a [gluten free all purpose flour](https://linksta.io/7e8dd348/wp) will work well in this vegan banana bread recipe. I do not recommend using almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe, instead, feel free to try my [vegan paleo banana muffins](https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/paleo-banana-muffins-chocolate-chips/ "Vegan Paleo Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips").

## Follow these tips to make the best vegan banana bread
With a few tips & tricks youāll make incredible vegan banana bread every time:
- **Extra ripe bananas are best.** The key to delicious banana bread flavor is to use bananas with lots of brown spots. Theyāre sweeter and give the bread the perfect flavor\!
- **Use room temp ingredients.** Be sure to cool your coconut oil after melting it so that it doesnāt seize up when mixed with any of the other ingredients.
- **Do not overmix.** Overmixed batter results in dense, gummy bread. Mix the vegan banana bread batter until just combined. Itās okay if there are still lumps of banana\!
- **Use fresh baking soda.** The best way to ensure that your bread rises properly is to use fresh baking soda. If itās older than 3 months you might want to grab a new one.
- **Prep your pan properly (and use the correct size).** Line your [8Ć4 inch loaf pan](https://linksta.io/6ff17e67/wp) with [parchment paper](https://linksta.io/cde1efb7/wp) and spray it with [nonstick cooking spray](https://linksta.io/3066ab4e/wp) so that the banana bread comes out easily and doesnāt stick. Changing the size of the pan will alter the baking time, so be sure to watch your bread if you use a bigger pan\!

## Turn this vegan banana bread into muffins
1. Spray a 12 cup [muffin tin](https://linksta.io/2ba63571/wp) with nonstick [cooking spray](https://linksta.io/56d0cb1b/wp) or use [muffin liners](https://linksta.io/42c0156f/wp). To be safe, I always spray the inside of the liners too.
2. Prepare the batter as directed, then divide evenly between liners.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F or until a tester comes out clean.
## Using frozen bananas? Donāt forget this tip
Yes, you can use frozen bananas to make this vegan banana bread! If you want to use frozen bananas, follow these steps:
- **Step 1:** thaw frozen bananas at room temperature in a large bowl or on a deep plate until they are completely defrosted.
- **Step 2:** after the bananas are at room temp and no longer frozen, drain the excess liquid thatās produced from thawing them. If you donāt do this, the bread will end up with too much moisture.
- **Step 3:** use in the recipe as directed.

## How to store vegan banana bread
- **At room temp:** this vegan banana bread can be left wrapped at room temp for a day, and you can absolutely make it a day or two ahead of time. It is even more delicious the next day.
- **In the fridge:** after a day at room temp Iād recommend storing the bread sealed in the fridge for up to 5 days.
## Freezing & thawing tips
Yes, you can easily freeze this vegan banana bread! Hereās the best way to freeze & thaw it:
- **To freeze:** let the bread cool completely and either cut it into slices before placing it in an airtight container or [freezer-friendly bag](https://linksta.io/f3142a73/wp) in the fridge, or freeze the whole thing for up to 3 months.
- **To thaw:** you can thaw the whole loaf by simply letting it sit at room temp for a few hours. You can do the same with the individual slices, or you can reheat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

The best vegan banana bread you'll ever eat is moist, flavorful and tastes like the nostalgic, traditional banana bread you know and love. This easy vegan banana bread recipe uses simple ingredients and makes an incredible brunch treat or snack. Options to add chocolate chips and nuts to make it extra special\!
### Ingredients
- **For the wet ingredients:**
- 3 medium to large extra ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ā
cup mashed banana)
- ā
cup (75g) melted and cooled coconut oil
- ½ cup (107g) packed brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons dairy free milk of choice
- **For the dry ingredients:**
- 1 ¾ cup (210g) all purpose flour\*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- **Optional add-ins:**
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips
- ½ cup (56g) chopped walnuts (or pecans)
### Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan with parchment paper and grease the inside of the pan to prevent sticking. If you use a larger loaf pan, such as a 9x5, please know your bread will be much thinner and will take less time to cook.
- In a large bowl mix together the mashed banana, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract and milk to a bowl until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; itās totally fine if there are some lumps of banana, etc. Feel free to fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or ½ cup chocolate chips (or both!) if youād like.
- Add banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once bread is cool, cut into 10 slices. Serve with nut butter spread on top for a healthy snack or breakfast on the go.
### Recipe Notes
Frozen bananas should be thawed first and then drained of excess liquid before using in this recipe.
\*If you use whole wheat flour (I recommend whole wheat pastry or white whole wheat flour), youāll likely need to add two more tablespoons of milk to the recipe.
**To make gluten free:** I suggest using chickpea flour or an all purpose gluten free flour. I do not recommend using almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe.

As soon as this recipe was highlighted on Instagram I knew I had to try it immediately! Iāve been looking for the perfect vegan banana bread recipe and this did not disappoint! It is moist, has the perfect amount of sweetness, and doesnāt use any hard to find ingredients (which is always a possibility when making vegan baked goods). This will be my standard vegan banana bread recipe from now on! Itās perfection.

This recipe is awesome!! Iām about to make it again, and trying to remember how I tweaked it last time, but I used sunflower oil and didnāt use any milk, just a tad bit more oil ā this was the closest I could get to the āWoodsā banana bread recipe! Iāve been trying to make banana bread similar, and I think itās the sunflower oil that gives it such good flavor and aroma! I say try it!\!

Tried this banana bread this morning for a Sunday breakfast treat and it did not disappoint! Tender moist (but not gummy) crumb and not overly sweet (like so many other recipes)!

May 25, 2021

Unfortunately this recipe just didnāt work out for me ā I baked it with hope to share with a group of co-workers, one who is Vegan and I tasted it and got my household to taste it after I sliced it . I used coconut oil, kept it plain (didnāt have Vegan CCs) ā only difference was I used water instead of 2TB dairy free milk and added 1tsp of 100% pure Maple syrup.
Myself and 2 taste testers felt it had a strong baking powder taste, did not taste good at all, and tasted quite bland⦠so Iām sorry it was a miss from us.
That said, I do appreciate your work in your helpfully written blog post and clear easy to follow recipe .

Iāve made this recipe a couple of times and always love it! Yesterday I simply forgot to add my melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients and it wasnāt until I was cleaning up that I realized. The loaf turned out just as well as always, so I may consider omitting the oil in the future. I will say my bananas were very very ripe so not sure if that compensated for anything.

Wonderful recipe. My first time making a vegan banana bread. I followed the recipe using whole wheat flour and used 1/4 cup of coconut sugar instead of 1/2 cup as I prefer less sweetness. Didnāt have almond milk so used water instead, and added walnuts. Texture was great, but I may add an extra tbsp of water next time for additional moistness. Thank you for the recipe\!

Vegan or not this is 100% my favorite banana bread recipe!! Perfect texture and ingredients are so simple. I use 100% whole wheat flour and love it, adds a good crust without throwing off the sweetness or crumb. Whole wheat flour absorbed more liquid so I either cut back a little on the flour or add a little extra milk.

This banana bread was amazing, and i actually decided to use oat flour instead of reg. flour because i figured itād taste great alongside the bananas (i measured out the oats to be 1 3/4 cups and blended them into flour). This Banana bread reminded me of the Cliff Chocolate Chip bars in the absolute best way. I always add allspice and cinnamon to my banana breads and i totally recommend it\!

The bread came out moist, sadly, it barely had a taste of bananas or sweetness. I followed the ingredients (and instructions) to a T, except I had to use olive oil instead of coconut oil, Perhaps the olive oil saturated the banana taste. I was inspired by the rave reviews & excited to bake it. Unfortunate that my experience didnāt quite live up to the glowing reviews.

I made this bread today, I am not sure why it came out so dry. I used soy milk and canola oil. I stay away from omega 6 fatty acids and saturated fats. I added extra soy milk when it looked to be too thick. Will keeping looking for the perfect vegan banana bread.
Oh and I did not not have the freshest baking soda so that was good to know.

So sorry to hear this! It was very moist for me. Next time I suggest using VERY ripe bananas and sticking to the recipe itself. Iāve tested this several times and it was perfect. Please be sure to NOT pack your flour.

Hello,
Thank you for the recipe, it is delicious, however the batter was too tick, way to tick, so much I had to add like 1/2 cup of milk to be able to combine all the ingredients. To confirm is 1 cup and 3/4 of flour?
Turned out great though and very delicious\!

This was so delicious and came out perfectly! I used 1-1/2 banana from fresh and 1-1/2 frozen bananas. I did not drain any liquid from the frozen bananas and it came out fine. I used a mix of flours (3/4 cup whole wheat, 1/2 all-purpose flour, 1/4 almond flour and 1/4 corn meal) and I used olive oil. I will definitely use this recipe again\!

I did add the dark chocolate chunks because thatās my favorite way to have banana bread :). Loved the coconut oil in this. The changes I made were: I chopped about a quarter of one of the bananas and folded in at the end so that some larger chunks of banana would remain in the batter, and I also added a pinch of nutmeg.

This was wonderful made just as your recipe is written! I did decorate the top before baking with ten pecan halves (to suggest where to cut the ten servings!) and placed a chocolate chip at the end of each one just because I could. It came out beautifully and the slice I took to my 98 year-old mother was deemed, āDelicious!ā A couple slices were my dinner and I have no regrets, especially since thereās at least half left for tomorrow. Will it taste better then as you suggest? Itās hard to imagine, but Iāll have sweet dreams just thinking about it! Thanks for a wonderful recipe\!

Very good base recipe, my only concern was that baking soda requires an acid in order to activate the rise, so I added a cap-ful of white distilled vinegar to the wet ingredients, it came out great. It doesnāt look like anyone else had issues with the rise, so maybe thereās enough acid in the brown sugar to activate the baking soda. However for folks that used alternative sugars and had problems with the recipe, this could be the problem. You could try the vinegar approach, it doesnāt negatively impact the flavor at all.

Wow! What a great recipe! I did do some minor adjustments to make it healthier. I subbed the coconut oil (nobody should use it, 100% saturated fat!) with unsweetened applesauce, and used a WWpastry flour but only had 1 c so used garbanzo flour for the 1/2c. Added walnuts/choc chips mixed in the batter then chopped up peanuts for the top. It was amazing! I have a FOK recipe I always use but wanted to change it up. What a treat it was. I also used just coconut palm sugar instead of refined brown sugar. This is a staple now in my house. Thank you for the amazing recipe\!

LOVED these muffins! I donāt usually make vegan baked goods but these tasted just as good. I didnāt have coconut oil so I used olive oil and it worked well. I also added chocolate chips. Made these into muffins (made about 16) instead of bread and baked them at 350 for about 18 min. Yum\!

This came out great!! Used wholemeal spelt flour and added a couple more tablespoons of liquid to make up for the extra hydration needed. Really nice texture. I tried to press 5 stars but it wonāt let me. My only wish was that you gave metric/weight measurements for the flour and bananas especially.

This is my go-to, favorite, banana bread recipe! Iāve made it 4 times now and it turns out perfect each time! Iāve made a few variations now too and every one is great.
Variations have included,
ā Olive oil instead of coconut oil. Added walnuts and Nutella swirled in.
ā Was short a banana, so I subbed 1 small shredded zucchini! Mmm

Iām going to be the odd one out and say this was ok flavour wise, but dense as written, the first time I made it. I gave it another shot today using 1T baking powder instead of baking soda and it came out light and fluffy. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an acid to activate, which this recipe has none. Baking powder only needs heat and moisture to become active so is a better leavening agent in this instance.

Made the loaf with 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 3 very ripe and brown bananas, 1/2 cup coconut milk (i had leftover from a can from another recipe), whole wheat organic flour and a little over a 1/2 cup of mixed cacao and dark chocolate vegan chips. They rose nicely in the pans and theyāre not too sweet, but just the way I prefer. Also added a little more than 1/2 cup chopped walnuts bc I like bread to be filled with interesting textures and flavors. I put the mix into 3 small greased loaf pans with no parchment and they cam out easily. Gave 2 away as gifts and am trying to control the urge to eat the remaining loaf in one day. Itās so good. Will try with some peanut butter later! Thank you.

Be very careful when melting the coconut oil. It burns VERY quickly and will catch fire in the microwave. A pot with hot water from the sink, was sufficient to liquify the oil in its container.
My husband said, āThis is good.ā I thought it was a bit too sweet. The crumb and texture worked for us, which was surprising, in light of the recipe being eggless and vegan.

Hi there. Iām reading the reviews and people are going bananas for this recipe (haha)! Thank you SO much for the tip about pouring off the liquid from the frozen bananas. I suspect that has been my problem with all past banana breads being dense/gummy. Canāt wait to try this recipe, but first a question that I noticed one person asked but didnāt get a reply. I always weigh my flour because I spent a lot of years baking with too much flour. Everyone spoons/scoops their flour differently and the weight variations can make a HUGE difference. Thanks so much. Also looking forward to exploring your site more.

Hi Carolyn! Yes, draining off the liquid should help if youāve been using frozen bananas in baking. Check out my tutorial [here](https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour/ "How to Measure Flour (without a scale!)") for measuring flour ā I always use this in baking\!

VERY good recipe! I made this tonight with 5 small, ripe bananas I had sitting on my counter. I subbed olive oil for coconut oil and used vanilla bean paste instead of extract. The inside was moist (sry) and the outside had a little crust on it. I didnāt add nuts because my bf is alergic, but it was amazing even without.

Thank you Monique, and for comments by other readers ā I benefitted from all your experiences!! This is really a superb recipe!! I am not a baker, and this turned out really well on my first try with substitutions.
I used:
⢠Flour ā āAtta with multigrainsā ā ingredients: Wheat, Soya, Channa, Oat, Maize, Psyllium Husk (Aashirwaad brand)
⢠2 overripe and 1 just ripe bananas, the latter chopped in rounds and then quartered)
⢠1/2 cup of moist chopped Deglet Nour dates (instead of sugarā¦no sugar added)
⢠3 heaped tablespoons of plain lowfat yogurt (needed more wet stuff to absorb the multigrain flour)
⢠1/4 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg (no vanilla in my pantry)
⢠A squeeze of 1/8 of a juicy lime (to active the b. soda)
⢠Extra virgin olive oil
All other ingredients were the same.
It turned out moist and sweet enough for me, and I could see and taste small bits of banana, dates, and walnuts in the first slice.

Followed the recipe to a T except for I used 1/4 less flour than called for ā even still it was SO dry. The flavour is nice but itās hard to swallow. It was my first attempt at vegan banana bread. My usual non vegan banana bread recipe is almost identical except it includes 1 egg and only uses 1 cup of flour, so to lose the moisture of the egg AND use more flour seemed weird to me. Wish I had followed my gut.

This is not a bad recipe BUT there is too much baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) in the recipe. 1 teaspoon is a LOT and you can taste it in the bread.

Not sure why this has no comments, this is definitely my favourite easy banana bread recipe for my allergy child.
I bake a double batch, cut up, cool, freeze, and pop a chunk into the lunch box every day. Happy kids and I know itās fairly healthy as far as snacks go.
I sometimes use maple syrup instead of the sugar and halve the amount.

New fave banana bread recipe!! I used 3 large super ripe bananas, think I accidentally grabbed the 1/4 c instead of 1/3 c for the oil (used coconut oil and didnāt wait long for it to cool after microwaving it to melt it), just 1/3 c sugar (and might use less next time, but I like my breads not to be v sweet and the bananas were so ripe already), used all whole wheat flour and didnāt measure the mylk ā just splashed it in til the texture looked right lol ā and put in a heaping 1/2 c of dark chocolate chips. Baked in I think an 8 x 9 (?) pan in the toaster oven for about 45min and it was nice and toasty and crisp on the top. Great texture! I will decrease the sugar next time and maybe try to decrease the oil some more / partially replace with more banana or maybe aquafaba or applesauce. Also will try to sub the oil with pb since pb + banana + chocolate = amazingness. Thanks for sharing this recipe ā def saving for next time\!

As soon as this recipe was highlighted on Instagram I knew I had to try it immediately! Iāve been looking for the perfect vegan banana bread recipe and this did not disappoint! It is moist, has the perfect amount of sweetness, and doesnāt use any hard to find ingredients (which is always a possibility when making vegan baked goods). This will be my standard vegan banana bread recipe from now on! Itās perfection.

This recipe is awesome!! Iām about to make it again, and trying to remember how I tweaked it last time, but I used sunflower oil and didnāt use any milk, just a tad bit more oil ā this was the closest I could get to the āWoodsā banana bread recipe! Iāve been trying to make banana bread similar, and I think itās the sunflower oil that gives it such good flavor and aroma! I say try it!\!

Unfortunately this recipe just didnāt work out for me ā I baked it with hope to share with a group of co-workers, one who is Vegan and I tasted it and got my household to taste it after I sliced it . I used coconut oil, kept it plain (didnāt have Vegan CCs) ā only difference was I used water instead of 2TB dairy free milk and added 1tsp of 100% pure Maple syrup.
Myself and 2 taste testers felt it had a strong baking powder taste, did not taste good at all, and tasted quite bland⦠so Iām sorry it was a miss from us.
That said, I do appreciate your work in your helpfully written blog post and clear easy to follow recipe .

Iāve made this recipe a couple of times and always love it! Yesterday I simply forgot to add my melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients and it wasnāt until I was cleaning up that I realized.

Wonderful recipe. My first time making a vegan banana bread. I followed the recipe using whole wheat flour and used 1/4 cup of coconut sugar instead of 1/2 cup as I prefer less sweetness. Didnāt have almond milk so used water instead, and added walnuts. Texture was great, but I may add an extra tbsp of water next time for additional moistness. Thank you for the recipe\!

Vegan or not this is 100% my favorite banana bread recipe!! Perfect texture and ingredients are so simple. I use 100% whole wheat flour and love it, adds a good crust without throwing off the sweetness or crumb. Whole wheat flour absorbed more liquid so I either cut back a little on the flour or add a little extra milk.

This banana bread was amazing, and i actually decided to use oat flour instead of reg. flour because i figured itād taste great alongside the bananas (i measured out the oats to be 1 3/4 cups and blended them into flour). This Banana bread reminded me of the Cliff Chocolate Chip bars in the absolute best way. I always add allspice and cinnamon to my banana breads and i totally recommend it\!

The bread came out moist, sadly, it barely had a taste of bananas or sweetness. I followed the ingredients (and instructions) to a T, except I had to use olive oil instead of coconut oil, Perhaps the olive oil saturated the banana taste. I was inspired by the rave reviews & excited to bake it. Unfortunate that my experience didnāt quite live up to the glowing reviews.

I made this bread today, I am not sure why it came out so dry. I used soy milk and canola oil. I stay away from omega 6 fatty acids and saturated fats. I added extra soy milk when it looked to be too thick. Will keeping looking for the perfect vegan banana bread.
Oh and I did not not have the freshest baking soda so that was good to know.

Hello,
Thank you for the recipe, it is delicious, however the batter was too tick, way to tick, so much I had to add like 1/2 cup of milk to be able to combine all the ingredients. To confirm is 1 cup and 3/4 of flour?
Turned out great though and very delicious\!

The changes I made were: I chopped about a quarter of one of the bananas and folded in at the end so that some larger chunks of banana would remain in the batter, and I also added a pinch of nutmeg.

This was wonderful made just as your recipe is written! I did decorate the top before baking with ten pecan halves (to suggest where to cut the ten servings!) and placed a chocolate chip at the end of each one just because I could. It came out beautifully and the slice I took to my 98 year-old mother was deemed, āDelicious!ā A couple slices were my dinner and I have no regrets, especially since thereās at least half left for tomorrow. Will it taste better then as you suggest? Itās hard to imagine, but Iāll have sweet dreams just thinking about it! Thanks for a wonderful recipe\!

Very good base recipe, my only concern was that baking soda requires an acid in order to activate the rise, so I added a cap-ful of white distilled vinegar to the wet ingredients, it came out great. It doesnāt look like anyone else had issues with the rise, so maybe thereās enough acid in the brown sugar to activate the baking soda. However for folks that used alternative sugars and had problems with the recipe, this could be the problem. You could try the vinegar approach, it doesnāt negatively impact the flavor at all.

Wow! What a great recipe! I did do some minor adjustments to make it healthier. I subbed the coconut oil (nobody should use it, 100% saturated fat!) with unsweetened applesauce, and used a WWpastry flour but only had 1 c so used garbanzo flour for the 1/2c. Added walnuts/choc chips mixed in the batter then chopped up peanuts for the top. It was amazing! I have a FOK recipe I always use but wanted to change it up. What a treat it was. I also used just coconut palm sugar instead of refined brown sugar. This is a staple now in my house. Thank you for the amazing recipe\!

LOVED these muffins! I donāt usually make vegan baked goods but these tasted just as good. I didnāt have coconut oil so I used olive oil and it worked well. I also added chocolate chips. Made these into muffins (made about 16) instead of bread and baked them at 350 for about 18 min. Yum\!

This came out great!! Used wholemeal spelt flour and added a couple more tablespoons of liquid to make up for the extra hydration needed. Really nice texture. I tried to press 5 stars but it wonāt let me. My only wish was that you gave metric/weight measurements for the flour and bananas especially.

This is my go-to, favorite, banana bread recipe! Iāve made it 4 times now and it turns out perfect each time! Iāve made a few variations now too and every one is great.
Variations have included,
ā Olive oil instead of coconut oil. Added walnuts and Nutella swirled in.
ā Was short a banana, so I subbed 1 small shredded zucchini! Mmm

Iām going to be the odd one out and say this was ok flavour wise, but dense as written, the first time I made it. I gave it another shot today using 1T baking powder instead of baking soda and it came out light and fluffy. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an acid to activate, which this recipe has none. Baking powder only needs heat and moisture to become active so is a better leavening agent in this instance.

Made the loaf with 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 3 very ripe and brown bananas, 1/2 cup coconut milk (i had leftover from a can from another recipe), whole wheat organic flour and a little over a 1/2 cup of mixed cacao and dark chocolate vegan chips. They rose nicely in the pans and theyāre not too sweet, but just the way I prefer. Also added a little more than 1/2 cup chopped walnuts bc I like bread to be filled with interesting textures and flavors. I put the mix into 3 small greased loaf pans with no parchment and they cam out easily. Gave 2 away as gifts and am trying to control the urge to eat the remaining loaf in one day. Itās so good. Will try with some peanut butter later! Thank you.

Be very careful when melting the coconut oil. It burns VERY quickly and will catch fire in the microwave. A pot with hot water from the sink, was sufficient to liquify the oil in its container.
My husband said, āThis is good.ā I thought it was a bit too sweet. The crumb and texture worked for us, which was surprising, in light of the recipe being eggless and vegan.

Sorry to hear that! This bread isnāt meant to be as sweet as, say, bakery-style banana bread, but using SUPER ripe bananas is the key to the sweetness. The 1/2 cup of brown sugar and chocolate chips should give this plenty of flavor, too\!

Hi there. Iām reading the reviews and people are going bananas for this recipe (haha)! Thank you SO much for the tip about pouring off the liquid from the frozen bananas. I suspect that has been my problem with all past banana breads being dense/gummy. Canāt wait to try this recipe, but first a question that I noticed one person asked but didnāt get a reply. I always weigh my flour because I spent a lot of years baking with too much flour. Everyone spoons/scoops their flour differently and the weight variations can make a HUGE difference. Thanks so much. Also looking forward to exploring your site more.

Hi Carolyn! Yes, draining off the liquid should help if youāve been using frozen bananas in baking. Check out my tutorial [here](https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour/ "How to Measure Flour (without a scale!)") for measuring flour ā I always use this in baking\!

VERY good recipe! I made this tonight with 5 small, ripe bananas I had sitting on my counter. I subbed olive oil for coconut oil and used vanilla bean paste instead of extract. The inside was moist (sry) and the outside had a little crust on it. I didnāt add nuts because my bf is alergic, but it was amazing even without.

Thank you Monique, and for comments by other readers ā I benefitted from all your experiences!! This is really a superb recipe!! I am not a baker, and this turned out really well on my first try with substitutions.
I used:
⢠Flour ā āAtta with multigrainsā ā ingredients: Wheat, Soya, Channa, Oat, Maize, Psyllium Husk (Aashirwaad brand)
⢠2 overripe and 1 just ripe bananas, the latter chopped in rounds and then quartered)
⢠1/2 cup of moist chopped Deglet Nour dates (instead of sugarā¦no sugar added)
⢠3 heaped tablespoons of plain lowfat yogurt (needed more wet stuff to absorb the multigrain flour)
⢠1/4 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg (no vanilla in my pantry)
⢠A squeeze of 1/8 of a juicy lime (to active the b. soda)
⢠Extra virgin olive oil
All other ingredients were the same.
It turned out moist and sweet enough for me, and I could see and taste small bits of banana, dates, and walnuts in the first slice.

Followed the recipe to a T except for I used 1/4 less flour than called for ā even still it was SO dry. The flavour is nice but itās hard to swallow. It was my first attempt at vegan banana bread. My usual non vegan banana bread recipe is almost identical except it includes 1 egg and only uses 1 cup of flour, so to lose the moisture of the egg AND use more flour seemed weird to me. Wish I had followed my gut.

This is not a bad recipe BUT there is too much baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) in the recipe. 1 teaspoon is a LOT and you can taste it in the bread.

Not sure why this has no comments, this is definitely my favourite easy banana bread recipe for my allergy child.

I sometimes use maple syrup instead of the sugar and halve the amount.

New fave banana bread recipe!! I used 3 large super ripe bananas, think I accidentally grabbed the 1/4 c instead of 1/3 c for the oil (used coconut oil and didnāt wait long for it to cool after microwaving it to melt it), just 1/3 c sugar (and might use less next time, but I like my breads not to be v sweet and the bananas were so ripe already), used all whole wheat flour and didnāt measure the mylk ā just splashed it in til the texture looked right lol ā and put in a heaping 1/2 c of dark chocolate chips. Baked in I think an 8 x 9 (?) pan in the toaster oven for about 45min and it was nice and toasty and crisp on the top. Great texture! I will decrease the sugar next time and maybe try to decrease the oil some more / partially replace with more banana or maybe aquafaba or applesauce. Also will try to sub the oil with pb since pb + banana + chocolate = amazingness. Thanks for sharing this recipe ā def saving for next time\!

I love this recipe and use it as a base. The only modifications I make is I add 2 tbsp vegan sour cream and also sub the sugar for date puree that I made with soaked and blended dates to make it sugar free.
