A simple, comforting vegan banana bread recipe that is moist, fluffy, and easy to make with pantry staples. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (can substitute with neutral oil)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond or oat milk)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  3. Add melted coconut oil, non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold with a spatula just until no flour pockets remain. Fold in nuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and optionally add xanthan gum. Nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds for nut-free option.
