The Best Vegan Banana Bread Recipe

Yesterday, I had a few ripe bananas so I decided to make vegan banana bread and it turned out so well! I’m really amazed by the moist texture of the bread and the authentic flavor. You can’t even tell that it’s vegan and it’s healthy! Let’s get started.

So, the key to this vegan banana bread is almond flour. Almond flour is by nature very moist and adds a lot of flavor to the bread. Here is a list of ingredients you will need:

• 1 ½ cups mashed ripe banana about 4 medium or 3 extra large
• 3 tbsp of egg substitute mixed with 6 tbsp of water (let sit for about a minute)
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or blue agave
• 3 tablespoons canola oil or melted and cooled coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat baking flour
• Chopped nuts and almonds for garnish and toppings (optional)

The steps are simple after you gather all of your ingredients! Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl (bananas, egg substitute, maple syrup/blue agave, oil, vanilla extract) and in a separate bowl combine your dry ingredients (baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour). Combine the two together and pour into a greased 8×8 baking pan. Bake for 30-35 mins at 350 degrees, covering the pan with tin foil half way in between. Enjoy!
