I love this recipe. It’s so easy and comes out perfectly. I use a silicone mini muffin tray and bake in my air fryer using the cake setting for 15 minutes. Occasionally I will use 5 bananas instead of 4 if they are on the small side. I also highly recommend using very ripe bananas and mashing thoroughly. Delicious!

Came to say that I’ve been making this banana bread recipe for years and love it! It turns out different every time but always delicious! Sometimes I add chocolate chips, sometimes walnuts and sometimes I make it without the sugar for my toddler. It’s a crowd pleaser! Best recipe out there. Thanks for sharing it with us!

In reply to Dee.

That’s because it’s a bread, not a cake. More liquid added, the more tough the bread.

*I just made a delicious vegan Pumpkin Spice loaf by copying this recipe. I subbed the banana with cooked squash/pumpkin and I subbed the cinnamon with TRIPLE the amount of Pumpkin Spice (I made my own-it’s easy). It came out moist and delicious!
This is my “go to” recipe and I am not even vegan! LOL

Oh my goodness. So easy and so delicious. It looked exactly like your photo too. I used with oat milk and white sugar. Delicious!! Thank you so much.

I love this banana bread. My son has a bunch of food allergies that have hurled me into the world of vegan baking and I must say when you have a banana bread like this you don’t even notice it’s without eggs / dairy. Everyone in my family loves it. I usually make with olive oil (light flavoured) but today I used grapeseed oil and I’d happily use either again. Thanks for a recipe we’ll be keeping forever.

Joining the chorus to sing the praises of this banana bread. I baked it a few years ago when my partner and I were living in Hawaii. I doubled the bananas as another poster suggested, and we were lucky enough to have a whole bunch of bananas from Waipio Valley (Google it, it's worth it) that our neighbor had brought us. I also added locally made mango extract and local macadamia nuts to the recipe. We were in Heaven, it was the best banana bread I've ever had.

Now back in Los Angeles. No Waipio bananas but we still have some Hawaiian mango x and I'm grabbing macadamia nuts tomorrow so we can recreate this for a luau this weekend. Can't wait to try it again!

Absolutely delicious. I used coconut oil but that’s the only change. Thank you!

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
