     This banana bread is seriously perfect! Thick, delicious, easy to make, and dirties just one bowl. And - it's vegan!


    the perfect {vegan} banana bread | The Baking Fairy

    Hello, lovelies! I have a shameful confession to make... I have been making this recipe for years. YEARS. And I had yet to post it on the blog! Oh lawd. I'm an embarrassment. Okay, well, here is the deal. This is actually the plain version of the vegan mango banana bread that I posted likeeee 4 years ago. And though I only made the mango version that one time, and have been making the regular version ever since, I just never got around to posting the actual thing. But today, that changes! Today, I present to you... The Perfect Banana Bread Recipe!

    This bread has the bonus of being vegan, which of course is great if you're a vegan, but it's also great if you're out of eggs. Or if you're baking with a child who insists that she must lick the bowl clean. Or if you, yourself, are a compulsive spatula licker. It's okay, we all are secretly and there is no shame in that. 🙂 I love this recipe because it's ridiculously simple and fast to whip up, and it yields the most perfect, moist, dense banana bread ever. Serious banana bread perfection, y'all.

    I actually have another recipe I'm planning on making soon, which will use this banana bread. Mwahaha. So stay tuned for that! This is vegan and that other recipe won't be, buuuut honestly this banana bread is amazing no matter what your dietary restrictions are. You can make this just egg-free and use dairy milk if that floats your boat, too. My favorite part is that this is super simple and delicious, but can be improved with basically any addition you want. Personally, I'm partial to chocolate chips and pecans, but a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella are also pretty fantastic. Use this banana bread as a blank canvas for whatever mix-ins your heart desires!

    Author: Valentina | The Baking Fairy
    Recipe type: Breads & Loaf Cakes
    Serves: one 9x5 pan
    Ingredients
    • 4 medium ripe bananas
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil
    • ¼ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
    • ½ cup light brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • sliced bananas, for topping
    Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray, then flour.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, roughly mash the bananas. Add the brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and almond milk, and whisk to incorporate.
    3. Mix in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and stir until combined. Do not overmix, or the banana bread can come out dense and gummy!
    4. Transfer the batter to your prepared pan, and top with the extra banana slices.
    5. Bake for about 45 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a couple crumbs.

      I tried this recipe but it did not make a batter, it was so thick that I had to keep adding more milk. Hopefully it will turn out.

        Hi Dee! The batter is supposed to be pretty thick, so closer to a dough than a cake batter. Did you follow the recipe exactly? I've made this many times and I've never had an issue. Hopefully it turns out for you! Let me know, I'd love to troubleshoot with you!

          Hi! i tried making this, however i am intolerant to sugar so i used maple syrup in its place for the sweetness. This obviously makes it too wet as it didn’t cook after 1hr, the bottom was quite gooey. Any ideas on what to add to balance the wetness out? Thanks x

            Hi Sarah! You may need to add some extra flour to compensate for the moisture of the maple syrup 🙂

            aLSO ADDED PECANS AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS. TURNED OUT GOOD!

            I am quite late but use half the amount it says on the recipe of stevia. It's kinda expensive but it's great, 0 kcals, 0 sugar, gives the same sweetness (if you use half the og amount, as it's super sweet). You can get it at Tesco but if Tesco isn't in your country then look elsewhere or get it online.

        Hi,
        Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. This is definitely the best one, and I am basically baking it every second week.
        I was wondering if anyone have ever tried freezing it down? Or how would it behave when freezing it and just warming it up when guests come?

        Thanks a lot in advance,
        Dora

        I doubled the bananas and if they are ripe enough (like overly ripe, lots of brown spots and falling apart inside) then no sugar is needed. Plus the extra nanners make the bread so moist!

        I made this with coconut sugar! First time I over mixed the batter and the texture was dreadful, second time I just folded the wet into the dry and it was perfect. We now make this recipe weekly with wholemal flour and coconut sugar and the kids have it for breakfast with some nut butter 🙂 thanks so much for this amazing recipe!

        It definitely could make it a little drier! You can always add an extra 1/2 - 1 banana to make up for it 🙂

      I've made this banana bread several times now and it turns out amazing every time! I add walnuts and substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil and everyone I've served it to loves it. The mixture is like a muffin mix, takes a while to fold together gently but bakes great, even in different ovens. Thanks so much - it truly is the perfect banana bread recipe!

      Made this recipe in Colorado (high-elevation) and it turned out strange. Good flavor, but weird enough that I would never serve it to anyone. I baked it for over an hour and it was weirdly dense like bread pudding and not fluffy in the slightest. Not sure what went wrong!

        Hi Dani! I'm sure it was the high altitude that threw the recipe off. I have made this plenty of times myself and have lots of good reviews from other readers! Here are some adjustments I found depending on your altitude:

        Adjustment for 3000 feet:
        Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon decrease 1/8 teaspoon.
        Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 0 to 1 tablespoon.
        Increase liquid: for each cup, add 1 to 2 tablespoons.
        Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.

        Adjustment for 5000 feet:
        Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
        Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 0 to 2 tablespoons.
        Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.
        Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.

        Adjustment for 7000+ feet:
        Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/4 teaspoon.
        Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 1 to 3 tablespoons.
        Increase liquid: for each cup, add 3 to 4 tablespoons.
        Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.

        Here is an article from King Arthur Flour that also talks about the adjustments you have to make to recipes when you live in a high-altitude place: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/learn/high-altitude-baking.html. Better luck next time!!

      I'm not a baker, but I'd like to try this recipe. I don't have a sifter; is it totally necessary to sift the flour? And I only have three 3" x 5.5" loaf pans. Can I divide the dough into three? And how should I adjust the cooking time for the smaller pans?

      • valentina says

        September 05, 2018 at 8:11 pm

        Hi Amy! The sifter is totally not necessary... I honestly should just take it out of the recipe altogether 😉 And you can definitely divide it into smaller pans! if you have 4 small pans it would be best but 3 should still work. Just be careful that they do not spill over the edges when they're cooking! Bake for about 25 minutes and then check the center with a toothpick. If they're still gooey in the middle then bake 5-10 min longer until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Hope this helps!!

      Thank you baking fairy! I made your banana bread yesterday and it is truly a delicious recipe! I have recently started eating vegan and I have always loved to bake so I am having to rethink the way I bake.
      This recipe will be on the top of my list!

      Just made this. It looked beautiful, tasted great, but it was very dense...I used 60ml of rapeseed oil, which I worked out is 1/4 of a cup (I’m in the U.K.). Was there too much oil? Wrong oil? Either way it’s still nice!

        Hi Lorcan! I'm sorry it didn't come out perfect! It sounds like you did everything right and rapeseed is what we call canola here and I have definitely used it before in the recipe. Maybe it just needed a little longer in the oven!

      I made this banana bread last week. I varied the recipe very slightly (I added a half-teaspoon of baking powder, as well as the baking soda, plus a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to activate the baking soda). It was the lightest, softest, fluffiest vegan cake I've ever made. It's by far the best success I've had with vegan baking.

      I only had three medium bananas, one of which wasn't too ripe, so the banana flavour wasn't very strong. I added another splash of milk to make up for having one less banana. It was still totally delicious and this leads me to my next point ...

      As I've found out that using three instead of four bananas makes a moist cake but without a strong banana taste, I'm going to try this recipe substituting some of the flour with a quarter-cup of cocoa for a chocolate cake, and I'm also going to try a version with pumpkin spice (as it's that time of year).

      I'll let you know how it goes!!

        Hi Jan! Thank you so much for making my banana bread and for your comment! I have never tried adding vinegar to the batter but I do that for my vegan chocolate cake so I imagine it made the banana bread super soft! 🙂 I can't wait to see what you think of the chocolate cake and pumpkin bread! I do have a pumpkin banana bread recipe on the blog (not vegan) that might be helpful as far as the proportions go 🙂 https://www.thebakingfairy.net/2016/10/pumpkin-banana-bread/

      Hi! This was my first foray into vegan baking and it turned out great! One observation: I followed the recipe to a tee and the outside (top bottom and edges) had a sort of rubbery/waxy appearance and consistency. The flavor was great as was the texture inside, so I don’t know what may have contributed to this...any ideas?

      made this tonight and it came out amazing! I used the bob's red mill flour blend and added a little extra almond milk to balance the thickness of the batter - not sure if it was due to the gf flour or the fact that I didn't have any foil to cover with at the end but I did have to bake an extra 20 minutes or so to get it cooked through. Super impressed by how much this bread rose in the oven!

        Hi Grace! Thanks for being a loyal fan 🙂 I retested the recipe based on some reader feedback and found that using 4 bananas makes for a softer and more moist bread so I tweaked it! I honestly have no idea on the cups but I will measure next time I make it. I think 4 average sized bananas would be good ? If they're really huge (like 10 inches or more) then I would say you can use 3 instead! Hope that helps!!

        Hi Amanda! It sounds like you did not cook your banana bread enough! Every oven is a little different, so I always recommend testing it out with a toothpick inserted in the center to be sure it is not doughy and goopy anymore. The flavor part may also be due to it being raw in the middle. I think your oven may just need longer than mine to cook it through!

I didn't have foil so ended up just cooking it for 55 minutes without, the top got a bit crisp but the inside was perfect and I just trimmed of the crunchy bits, and that's my fault, not the recipe. Will definitely be making this again!

        Hi Andrew! I have made this recipe many times with the banana slices on top and have never had an issue with the slices being burnt! I wonder if your oven was too hot. I do not cook in centigrade and it is very easy to look this up on Google, so you are free to do so for your own cooking. I have hundreds of recipes on this website and do not have the time to go edit each one to change the temperature.

So I had to make it again with the oil to compare. I prefer it without the oil and find it not quite so heavy, still moist and delicious though! Household favorite!

      This is my go-to banana bread recipe. I've probably made it about 15 times. I've used less than the called for number of bananas and it still comes out great. I usually make this recipe into muffins because it's easier to just grab one and go. My four year old loves them as well.

        I keep finding that I dont need to bake it as long as the recipe says. I've made this twice now and it comes out completely done, if not dry, after only 40 minutes, without ever covering in foil first. Could it be my oven? It's a great loaf, and the flavor is perfect, but I know it should be more moist than what I've been getting, judging by others' results/comments. Any suggestions? Thank you!

          Hi Vanessa! It may very well be your oven. Every time I have made it, it's always still wet in the middle at 40 minutes so I have to cover it and add time. You can always shorten the time a bit if you have a speedy oven 🙂

      I just made these as muffins and I halved the recipe because I only had 2 roped bananas. I used avocado oil in place of vegetable oil and I used coconut sugar and maple syrup for the sweetener. These came out perfect! The texture was fluffy and moist. Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe. I will be making it often.

      I tried making this banana bread and it was a complete failure. ???? I used a gf flour blend from Costco, raw oganic cane sugar, and organic avocado oil in place of the unbleached all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and vegetable oil. We have major food allergies in our household so after comparing like 50 different banana bread recipes I thought this one would work with those substitutions. While baking and even after baking the bread looked absolutely gorgeous. It rose to the top of the pan, the color was a nice golden brown, the toothpick came out clean, and it even appeared bread like with a light fluffy texture. But after sitting out to cool, I noticed it was slowly sinking down. The bread went from the top of the pan down to like a half an inch off the bottom. So I cut it hoping it would still taste good. It’s flat, super tough, and gummy/raw like in the middle. The flavor and texture is horrible. I have been baking since I was three years old, but with traditional ingredients, so this whole vegan gluten free thing is so hard to get right! I want my kids and family to enjoy some of the things I did growing up, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to turn out right. I have tried so many recipes that keep failing. Also the kids hand mixed the batter with a hand mixer and I baked it in a white porcelain cake pan as I don’t have any metal bread loaf baking pans. I’m not sure if that’s another reason it didn’t turn out?

      LOVE when vegan recipes turn out so good that non-veg friends can't tell the difference! That is SO the case with this banana bread. Currently have a batch in the oven, this time made into muffins for portability on early morning commutes, for the second time this week! New Year's resolutions weren't made to be kept anyways, right? Also, being allergic, I am so glad this bread tastes good even without the standard walnuts used in most recipes. Thanks for the great recipe, I am looking forward to trying more!

      I know this is supposed to be a "bread" but I would have liked it to be a bit more moist. I will admit i used 3 1/2 small bananas for 2 batters but added more milk to try and even it out but it still came out very thick. I did like how easy the recipe was (although i skipped some of your instructions and just used a blender on the bananas first, then added the wet ingredients, then added the dry ingredients, and added more milk as needed). It would have also been nice to give advice to add chopped walnuts or pecans which I saw afterwards in another recipe and had on hand but the batter was already in the oven by then. It still came out nice, the top was not flat though by any means, more like a bad hair day lol. Again, it would have been better moister, but I'm not sure how to fix that.

      The banana cake has a bitter taste after swallowing as recipe requires too much baking soda/powder. Better to use self-raiding flour and a little vinegar. Could also have had a little extra sugar.

        Hi Mary! I never have but I don’t see why not! I would reduce the baking time since the banana bread will be thinner! I would do about 30 minutes and then test a toothpick in the center. When the toothpick is dry, it’s done!

        Hi Leigh! Thanks for your comment!! The foil is optional but helpful in my particular oven since I find that the top gets done but the middle is sometimes still raw! If you don’t have foil and you’re having the same issue, try to lower the temperature a bit and have the bread cook longer to make sure it’s done in the middle!

        Hi Loretta! No, I really don’t recommend using almond and coconut flour in this recipe. While this banana bread can be made GF with a cup-for-cup GF flour blend, nut “flours” bake up very differently. I recommend finding a recipe that was made specifically for almond and coconut flour to ensure it comes out well!

      180c seemed too hot for my banana bread, it was very brown on top after 25 minutes so I put the tin foil on and put it down to 160 for the rest of the time. I think the oven temp on the recipe is for non-fan ovens... maybe?

        Hi Kerina! Yes, I use a conventional oven (no fan) so if you have a convection oven you will have to adjust the temperature. Usually it is a 25 Fahrenheit difference (so lower to 325F instead of 350F) - sounds like what you did was right!

      Tastes lovely but it's a little dry, any advice on making it more moist next time? maybe maple syrup?
      I also used olive oil instead of vegetable oil as I didn't have any and it seems fine.
      I converted 350F to 180c and cooked the full time on that, I'm wondering if its a little over cooked as the crust is crunchy. But all the same lovely and really easy to make, thank you for sharing 🙂

        Hi Jo! Sounds like you did everything right! It does help if your bananas are very ripe and brown - it helps make the bread more moist and sweet. The size of the bananas may also vary - if you feel like yours are on the smaller side, feel free to add an extra half. I find that every oven is a little different, so if you feel like yours runs hot, I would maybe reduce the cooking time a bit next time. Or tent it with foil to prevent it from getting too brown and crunchy on top 🙂

      I have made this recipe easily 30 (probably more) times since finding it in 2016 when I was a vegan and I decided to leave a review finally haha. It is the only banana bread recipe I use & I have it memorized! I have made it as bread, muffins & doughnuts (adjusting time and keeping a close eye of course) & its turned out great each time. I've literally never had a problem making this banana bread and will make it forever!
      I have so many family members who dislike banana bread and love this one because its so moist unlike some banana breads out there. The only thing I do differently most times is 1/4 cup coconut sugar & 1/4 cup of brown sugar instead of the full 1/2 brown sugar. I love it a little undercooked too and its safe because no eggs!

      Heat it up on the stove with a little butter and extra cinnamon omg yum!

        Hey Deidre!! I have been meaning to make it and measure everything out in grams. Thank you for reminding me! I will do that as soon as I have some ripe bananas and get back to you with correct measurements 🙂

      well congrats tinkerbell! this was a super and successful recipe. no faffage and delicious and moreish. on my quest this so far is my favourite banana loaf and i have cooked many for my family. it amused me how many times people tweak your recipe, then i had to do the same, haha..no nut milk so added orange juice and reduced sugar and added apple cider vinegar as was working with spelt flour and only had small bananas which were lovely and overripe, hence could reduce sugar. some organic choc garnish and voila! look forward to exploring more of your delights. thankyou!

      Hello! Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda? Also can I use Canola oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil instead of Vegetable oil? Will the all the substitutes have the same results as the original ingredients?

      Thnx! :))

        Hi! Yes you can substitute the vegetable oil with canola or olive oil freely with no issues. I do not recommend using baking powder instead of baking soda as they do not work the same way. Differing reviews say to use 3 or 4x the amount of baking powder to equal baking soda but I have not tested it myself. I recommend buying baking soda for best results 🙂

I added a teeny nutmeg, and used dark brown sugar instead of light, and it was absolutely delicious! Thank yuh so much for this recipe, getting ready to make two batches tomorrow morning!

      Love the recipe! I added 3/4 tbs of baking powder and a splash of vinegar to the oat milk so I would get a fluffier texture and it was amazing! I also made these into muffins and bake for 25 minutes. They came out super fluffy and moist! Absolutely scrumptious!!

      Best vegan Banana bread! I used half paleo/half almond flour and added pecans. Other than that followed it exactly. The time was perfect, and I recommend using the foil at the end even if the bread looks done. It gives it an extra golden brown at the end. Thanks this one's a keeper.

      I made this recipe today and it is delicious! I didn't find the cake batter too wet or too dry, as I've seen others comment, I didn't adjust the ingredients at all (ex. using gluten-free flour, honey rather than sugar, etc.) so I guess that's why. One thing to note is that you might want to cook it a little longer, approximately 5-10 mins, if you want it more like bread. Overall it was super easy to prepare and the result was great!

        September 09, 2020 at 11:18 am

        Hi Julie! My cooking time is based on a 9 x 5 loaf. I would expect the cooking time to be longer since the loaf will be smaller and thicker with an 8 x 4 pan! I would definitely cover it with foil 30-40 minutes in to avoid burning the top as it finishes cooking in the middle. I would expect it to need at least an hour in the oven, probably closer to 75-90 minutes! Just check it often with a toothpick and make sure the center isn't wet anymore 🙂

        Hi Maria! Yes it is normal that the bread is a little dense, however it shouldn't be too heavy or gummy. If that is the case, it may need a few extra minutes in the oven!!

      Excellent banana bread! Very moist and fluffy. I rarely bake, but had four brown bananas on my counter, so I Googled and found this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, but had to bake it in a Bundt pan because I don't have a bread pan (when I say I rarely bake, I mean RARELY...lol!) Because of the pan style, I baked it only 30 minutes, before putting the foil on for the additional 15 minutes as directed. That was the only change I made, and it came out perfect. So simple. So delicious. THANKS for the recipe!

      Instead of oil this time, I used marg.
      I also added 1/4 cup of chopped pekins to make it extra special.
      Keep it in the fridge as it's a moist bread and can go moldy in hot weather
      very quickly.

        Hi Shiri! I do not recommend substituting the majority of bananas with applesauce. I have not tested the recipe this way and cannot guarantee that it will turn out. I’m afraid it will stay too runny. I recommend a minimum of 3 bananas for this recipe!

      Hope you are well.
      This is the first time i am messaging you as i came across your banana cake recipe when i cooked vegan banana loaf.
      I absolutely love the look of your recipes! if you are on instagram i would love to follow you and get some tips.
      I want to make a moist banana loaf or cake for my dad who is vegan. Please let me know best recipe and best oil to use. I have main ingredients but no oil. i will be using wholemeal flour though as i don't like to use self raising flour if that is ok?
      Which milk is best to use too. I like soya, almond, oat milk.
      I eat eggs myself so i will make a banana loaf or muffins with eggs using the wholemeal flour. hopefully this will be ok.
      Hope to hear from you.
      Thank you.

      I tried two of your VEGAN Banana breads (Perfect Banana /Marble Banana) and I have to say they were THE BEST loaf breads I have made in a long time. Super moist and delicious. I LOVE your added touch of slices of banana down the centre of the loaf. Each delectable slice gets a piece. So Heavenly!! The Marble Chocolate Banana bread was AMAZING. I actually enjoyed separating the batter in two batches and creating my own marbled loaf. Family LOVED them both, and hubby is NOT a Vegan. Speaks volumes to HOW good these 2 recipes are. Looking forward to trying more. Thank you "Baking Fairy"

        February 25, 2022 at 6:14 pm

        Hi Elizabeth, I personally have not tested this recipe with self-rising flour so I am not sure if it would work exactly. Google says that per 1 cup of self-rising flour, there can be anywhere from 1/2 a teaspoon to 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda so the amount is not always consistent. It *should* work but the bread may also end up gummy if there is not enough leavening agent. Hope that helps!

      I tried this with two differences. I used self-rising flour and I added chocolate chip.

      For the non-dairy "milk", I used Sow Seeds of Wellness Unsweetened Vanilla Chia Drink.

      I did have a problem with Cortana not setting my timer. 🙁

      I don't recommend it with chia drink and I suggest you mention that in your recipe. It made it impossible for the texture to form, resulting in it looking undercooked inside - almost the entirety of it. What I might normally call crust is more like a skin that is dense and holds together well. It doesn't taste that great, either, and the Artisan Kettle 72% extra dark chunks were so low on sugar that they didn't really help.

      I also think 1/2 cup of sugar isn't quite enough, but I'll just drink something yummy with it.

      Hopefully, next time will be better!

      Made this bread as a recommended recipe on the Zoe diet. Excellent! More cake-like when freshly baked, and a moister, denser loaf the next day, still delicious.
      A few comments: firstly, really appreciated the warnings above to mix gently till only just blended. It rose beautifully and not at all gummy.
      Secondly, living in west Wales where unusual ingredients are hard to find, I wondered how on earth I was going to find an American ingredient like baking soda. Googled it and turns out it is what we in UK know as bicarbonate of soda, good old bicarb! My Mum used to add a teaspoonful of it to boiled cabbage back in the day, to preserve its bright green colour. Just as well I noticed a comment above, or I would probably have used baking powder.
      Thirdly, for those cooking in UK, 350 degrees Fahrenheit is 175 degrees Centigrade. I wasn’t sure if it was standard oven or fan oven, so I dropped the oven temperature to 165 deg Centigrade as I use a fan oven, and the timings worked perfectly. But then, everyone’s oven is different
      Thank you for the recipe
