Bake the best vegan banana bread using this easy, one-bowl recipe. This loaf is incredibly moist, fluffy, and packed with banana flavor, making it a perfect plant-based breakfast or 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 milk works well)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 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. You can leave a few small lumps for texture.
  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. In the same bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. 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 acceptable.
  5. If using, gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the vegan banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the sweetest, most moist result.
  • For a refined sugar free banana bread, substitute the sugars with 3/4 cup of maple syrup, reducing the plant milk by 1 tablespoon.
  • If you want a fluffier vegan loaf, do not overmix the batter after adding the flour.
  • This recipe works well for simple vegan baking beginners.
