EGG-FREE BANANA BREAD RECIPE
The series of eggless recipes continues to grow! Today is the turn for the BEST Eggless Banana Bread.
At first, when Vicky, my daughter, was diagnosed with egg allergy, I felt a little worried. My biggest concern was the thought of all the limitations this allergy would bring to her everyday life. But now I feel much more relieved. The reason why is because I have found that I can prepare almost anything I want without eggs. Check out all my eggless recipes here.
This BEST Eggless Banana Bread recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients. The batter takes about 10 minutes to throw together and it produces a delicious bread with the perfect texture…moist and dense! Totally irresistible.
The walnuts add an extra layer of texture and flavor, which makes it even more delicious, but if you have a nuts allergy at home, just skip them.
The next time I prepare this recipe I’m going to add some chocolate morselsā¦. I will let you know how it turns out!

GLUTEN-FREE:Ā Substitute all-purpose flour for 1-to-1 Gluten-Free flour. This is myĀ favorite brand.
DAIRY FREE: :Ā Use your favorite plant-based milk to make homemadeĀ buttermilk. Make sure to use an unflavored, unsweetened variety of non-dairy milk. Soy and oat milk have the best consistency and very neutral flavors.Ā Make your dairy-freeĀ buttermilk: mixĀ 1 cup plant-based milk + 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.Ā Let the mixture sit for five minutes until the milk looks like it has curdled.Ā
Use the same amount of vegan butter substitute. For baking, my favorite dairy-free butter substitutes are Miyokoās Creamery Organic Vegan Butter and Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks.
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE THE BEST EGGLESS BANANA BREAD
You can swap up to half the flour for whole wheat.
You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar. However, the texture will be slightly different since the brown sugar makes a denser, moister bread
If using nuts, toast them in the oven for 10 minutes as the oven is preheating.
When mashing the banana leave them as chunky or as smooth as you prefer.
Baking time will vary slightly depending on the moisture and sugar content of your bananas, so I recommend starting to check for doneness around 50 minutes and then every 5 minutes after.
Wrap banana bread in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
STORING & FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 4 – 5 days, or wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. For freezing, I recommend cutting the bread into individual slices and then freezing.
