Make this incredibly moist and fluffy vegan banana bread using just one bowl. This easy recipe relies on ripe bananas for natural sweetness and flavor, making it a perfect, simple treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (almond or soy)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or use a 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips (optional add-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 thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the melted oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and plant milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk these wet ingredients together until combined.
  4. In the same bowl (this is the one-bowl method), add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon directly on top of the wet mixture.
  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 acceptable.
  6. If using, fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips now.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it 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 banana 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 want a refined sugar free banana bread, ensure you use maple syrup or another liquid sweetener.
  • This recipe works well for a quick vegan breakfast or a satisfying vegan snack recipe.
