Make this incredibly moist and fluffy vegan banana bread using only one bowl. This simple, egg-free recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for refined sugar free)
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (like canola or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup plant milk (soy or almond work well)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

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

Notes

  • For a high protein vegan bread option, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with your favorite unflavored or vanilla vegan protein powder.
  • Use bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best moisture and sweetness.
  • This dairy free breakfast loaf freezes well; wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
