BEST Damn Vegan Banana Bread
shaneandsimple.com/best-vegan... 1/2
This is so easy to make and absolutely perfect! Using only 10
simple ingredients, it’s moist, healthy, oil-free, and so delicious! Ready in less than an hour from
start to finish.
Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 55 minutes Yield: 1 loaf
ingredients
Wet Ingredients
3 very ripe bananas (the riper, the better)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 ̊F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or use a nonstick loaf pan.
2. Place the bananas in a medium or large bowl and mash using a fork or potato masher. The
bananas do not have to be completely smooth, it’s ok to have some small chunks for texture.
Now, add in all the remaining wet ingredients with the mashed bananas and mix until
everything is well combined.
3. To a separate bowl add in all the dry ingredients and whisk them together. Then add to the
wet and mix until everything is “just” combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. Think “pancake batter”
consistency. A little thick with some lumps.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. The banana bread is
done once you insert a knife or toothpick and it comes out clean. Keep in mind all appliances
are different so cooking time can vary several minutes one way or the other.
5. Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool for a bit in the baking pan. Then,
carefully remove it and allow it to cool, preferably to room temperature, on a cutting board or
cooling rack. The longer you let it set the easier it will slice. The texture and flavor will get
better as well.
6. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
notes
How Do I Make Vegan Banana Bread Muffins? Simply follow the same recipe, spoon the batter
into a muffin tin lined with those little paper cups, and bake for 35-40 minutes. Silicone muffin
pans are excellent as well. The muffins are done once you insert a toothpick and it comes out
clean.
Can I make this vegan banana bread gluten-free? Use your favorite gluten-free baking flour or
gluten-free oat flour. Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour is excellent.

Measure your flour: Use a measuring cup, fill it with the flour, then use the back of a knife to level
it off.
Moisture Is Important: DO NOT leave out the applesauce. Remember, this recipe is oil-free and
the applesauce is the oil replacement. If you don’t have unsweetened applesauce be sure and
check out my list of Healthy Oil Replacements In Baking.
Optional Add-ins: This banana bread recipe is super versatile and works great with other
ingredients. Toss in some vegan chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, pecans, dried fruit, or extra
spices if you like.
