Vegan Banana Bread
Having over ripe bananas at home? Wondering what to do? No second-guessing, please. Try this egg-free, dairy-free, easy vegan banana bread recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Allspice ground
- ½ cup Margarine at room temperature (I used Becel Vegan Spread)
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- ½ cup White Sugar
- 3 count Banana medium-sized, mashed well
- ¼ cup Almond Milk (or any non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Combine together the non dairy milk and apple cider vinegar; set aside.
- Preaheat the oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spice.
- Cream together the margarine and sugars in another bowl. Then add the bananas, vanilla, and milk-vinegar mixture.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Mix in the nuts and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Mine was done shortly after 60 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes. Then transfer the bread from the pan to the rack and let it cool completely before slicing (preferably overnight).
Notes
- Any non-dairy milk can be used instead of almond milk. My personal preference is always almond milk or rice milk.
- You can add (vegan) chocolate chips along with nuts to make it decadent.
- Always slice quick bread the next day. Do not slice it while it's still warm because it might not slice neatly.
- For a healthier version, you may want to substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or any other whole grain flour, use some homemade applesauce or some more mashed bananas for a part of the vegan butter substitute, and voila you have got a healthy banana bread without eggs.
Taste & Texture
This vegan banana bread is not too sweet which is perfect for us. Others might want to add another ¼ cup of sugar. The bread has a wonderfully moist texture but not dense at all.
