How to Make Banana Bread Without Eggs: Perfect Vegan Recipe

When I started baking, I made banana bread. When I took the loaf out of the oven, I can still remember the warm, sweet smell that filled my kitchen. But when I became vegan years later, I was afraid I’d have to give up this tasty treat. It didn’t seem possible to make banana bread without eggs. After many tries and a lot of trial and error, I finally got the mix just right. Now, I can’t wait to give you this recipe for sugar-free, moist, and lovely banana bread.

Why Make Banana Bread Without Eggs?

This recipe will help you if you run out of eggs or are switching to a vegan diet. Usually, eggs hold things together and add wetness, but guess what? The banana works just as well for this! Not only do bananas work perfectly in place of eggs, but they also add natural sweetness and a soft texture to your bread, making it rich and tasty.

Leaving eggs out of your recipe can also lower your cholesterol and make your baking less harmful to the environment. You and the earth will both be better off. If you’re curious about more egg substitutes, you can check out egg-free baking alternatives for other plant-based ideas.

Key Ingredients for Eggless Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas (the riper, the better)

• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil

• 1/2 cup brown sugar (or a sugar alternative like coconut sugar)

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup soy, almond, or oat milk obtained from plants

Directions

• Bake at 350°F (175°C) with a loaf pan greased.
• In a large basin, mash the bananas until they are smooth. Add the melted oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
• Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in another basin.
• Stir just till combined after adding the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as it can lead to dense bread.
• Fill the loaf pan with batter, then bake it for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• After 10 minutes of cooling in the pan, move it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

• What kind of bread you make will depend on how ripe your bananas are. For the best taste and texture, look for bananas that are soft and have spots on them.
• You can choose any plant-based milk you like. Oat milk and almond milk are well-liked.
• To keep the bread from disintegrating, let it cool thoroughly before slicing.
