If anyone tells you this is the best banana bread ever! – believe them. It is the moistest, flavourful banana bread. It saves you all the trips to the Cafe to get your perfect slice with some basic ingredients at home.
Still not so sure? Bake it, promise you you won’t regret it.
No egg substitutes are needed there are no fancy ingredients need to make this recipe. No apple sauce, flax eggs or egg replacer is needed. The bananas themselves are the best substitute. The rise from the bananas is perfect and stays great for a week.
Swap over for a vegan banana bread
It is easy to make this eggless banana bread vegan. Substitute the butter with coconut oil, just like we have in the marbled banana bread and the milk to almond soymilk. The measurements for these two are given in the recipe card.
Let’s make it gluten-free
The store-bought gluten-free flour and millet flour works perfectly in this recipe. This is what we have has success with. If trying oat flour, I will recommend making it as a muffin-like the breakfast oat muffin we have made. This is to help the oat bind better without APF and still give an airy lift to the recipe.
Get those undressing bananas a makeover
Have a bunch of overripe bananas? Make a secret stash of this wholewheat banana bread. Cool it, wrap it and freeze. There you saved those bananas and made some mornings easier.
Jazz it up differently each week
It is easy to change this recipe to many different forms. Make a nut loaded one by adding chopped pecans, walnuts or cashew nuts (like we have here). You could crust it with hemp seeds or mix in some flax and chia seeds to give a crunchy texture. Satisfy the chocolate lovers by adding some chocolate chips. We have added blueberries in the stevia banana bread to mask the after-taste of stevia.
The possibilities with this basic eggless banana bread is endless. Let us know what changes you made, so we can try them too.
