Bake the most moist, flavorful vegan banana bread using this simple, one-bowl recipe. This egg-free and dairy-free loaf is perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (almond or soy work well)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional mix-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, plant milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are well combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt directly into the wet mixture in the same bowl.
  5. Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  6. If using, gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pan.
  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 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best moisture and sweetness in your vegan banana bread.
  • For a warm spice flip, increase the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon and add 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
  • If you prefer a nuttier loaf, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with finely ground walnuts or pecans.
  • This recipe is excellent for using up overripe bananas, ensuring you get a delicious, dairy-free sweet treat.
