The Best Vegan Banana Bread Recipe You’ll Ever Make

It was a rainy Sunday morning, and I had three bananas that were a little too ripe to eat. The smell of overripe bananas is usually a sign that it’s time to bake something cozy, comforting, and a little indulgent. So I thought, why not whip up a batch of vegan banana bread?

This banana bread has become a staple in my kitchen, especially on lazy weekends or when I need a quick but healthy dessert. What I love most about this recipe is that it uses simple ingredients, is 100% plant-based, and doesn’t compromise on taste. Whether you’re vegan or just looking to try something new, this banana bread is sure to impress!

Ingredients for the Perfect Vegan Banana Bread

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Recommended Baking Tools: For perfect results, I recommend using a ceramic loaf pan and a stainless steel whisk for easy mixing. These tools make baking a breeze and ensure even cooking.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk.

Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft and tender.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
