Make this simple, one-bowl vegan banana bread for an incredibly moist and fluffy loaf. It uses ripe bananas for natural sweetness and requires no dairy or eggs, making it a perfect, easy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup plant milk (such as soy or almond)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (or maple syrup for refined sugar-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (optional: vegan chocolate chips or chopped walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the plant milk, melted oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until just combined. This is your one-bowl base.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  6. Fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and moisture, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • If you are looking for quick meal planning ideas that fit dietary needs, consider services that offer gluten-free meal delivery options.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.
