One of the most nostalgic treats has got to be a slice of soft banana bread slathered in butter, and this Vegan Banana Bread is sure to evoke those fuzzy childhood memories. 

You’ll never notice it’s vegan, egg-free, and dairy-free because it has the most delectable, moist and even fluffy texture. And it’s called the best banana bread for good reason, too. All you need are 10 ingredients and 20 minutes of hands-on time. 

After over 15 rounds of testing, I’m certain it’s fluffier, more tender, and less dense than any other vegan banana bread you’ve tried.

If you want to turn this banana bread into individual-sized treats, make these outrageously good Vegan Banana Muffins! And for breakfast vibes, try these fluffy Vegan Banana Pancakes.

Why this recipe works

Light and even fluffy!

Banana bread can sometimes get a bad rap for being dense, but this one is far from it. The texture is tender, light, and fluffy, and it’s all thanks to two ingredients: aquafaba and vegan buttermilk.

Aquafaba is one of my favorite vegan egg substitutes for baking. It’s just the leftover liquid from a can of chickpeas! When it’s lightly whipped, it miraculously transforms ordinarily dense banana bread into a fluffy and light treat.

And adding vegan buttermilk to the batter is the best way to fix the curse of the dry banana bread (you know what I’m talking about!). 

No fanciness required.

Banana bread doesn’t claim to be fancy. It leans into its natural rustic charm, which makes it such a comforting treat!

It’s made up of simple, pantry ingredients that are flexible and forgiving. Many readers have made tweaks to the recipe and have still had great results. Banana bread is pretty much foolproof, making it perfect for both beginners and pro bakers. 

It’s just plain comforting.

Despite being vegan, nut-free, and soy-free and made with some better-for-you ingredients, this banana bread still tastes like pure indulgence. Warmed up and slathered in vegan butter makes it a true dream.

Ingredient notes

ingredients for vegan banana bread laid out on a wooden cutting board with ingredients labeled.

Bananas

Overripe, spotty bananas are essential because (1) they’re very sweet, as the starches have converted to sugar; (2) they’re easier to incorporate into the batter; and (3) they have a deeper banana flavor, which translates to more flavorful banana bread.

Aquafaba

This is simply the liquid from a can of chickpeas. It’s a magical ingredient that gives this banana bread and other loaf-style cakes like vegan pumpkin bread and vegan gingerbread cake a tender, moist, and light texture.

Substitute: If you don’t have a can of chickpeas, you can substitute 2 flax eggs instead. To make the flax eggs, mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal with 5 tablespoons of water. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken.

Several readers have made this recipe with flax eggs and said it was very tender, so rest assured, it’ll still be tasty (even if not as fluffy as the original).  

Oat milk + lemon juice

These two together give you a dairy-free buttermilk substitute, AKA the other secret to this ultra-fluffy and moist banana bread. Oat milk is my preference here because of its superb browning abilities during baking.

Brown sugar

If choosing between light and dark brown sugar, go with the dark variety. It has a deeper molasses flavor, making the bread richer in flavor (the bread will be darker in color though).

If you prefer to use a less refined sugar, you can also use coconut sugar. 

Flour

All-purpose flour always leaves you with the best texture and foolproof results. Just make sure to measure it properly to prevent the bread from turning out dense! Head to the Tips section to learn more.

Substitute: We haven’t tested this recipe with gluten-free flour. However, many readers have had pretty good results using an all-purpose GF flour (like this variety from Bob’s Red Mill or this one from King Arthur). FYI gluten-free vegan banana bread will usually turn out a bit more dense.

Baking soda

The baking soda produces gas bubbles as a reaction to the acidic lemon juice. The bubbles in the batter enhance the rise and are the reason why this quick bread is so fluffy and light.

Tip: Be sure to use baking soda, not baking powder.

Step-by-step instructions

In a glass, stir the lemon juice into the oat milk to make the vegan buttermilk. Set aside.

Pour the aquafaba into a mixing bowl. Whip it until it’s frothy and bubbly all over. Mash the bananas in another bow with a fork or potato masher. 

Mix the wet ingredients. Whip the brown sugar and oil in a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the whipped aquafaba, then the buttermilk and vanilla. Finish by mixing in the bananas.

Tip: If you don’t have an electric mixer, use a whisk. It requires a little more arm muscle. 

Add the dry ingredients. Gently stir the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) into the wet mixture with a spatula. Try not to overmix! It’s ok if there are light flour streaks left behind. If using mix-ins like chocolate chips, gently fold them in now.

Quick tip: According to Cook’s Illustrated, folding the dry ingredients into the wet (instead of vice versa) promotes better incorporation, a more supple batter, and prevents overmixing.

Pour the batter into a loaf pan and smooth out the top.

For optional decoration: gently place a halved banana on top of the batter. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of bananas for caramelization.

Bake. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center at an angle comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are ok).

Pro tip: Inserting the toothpick at an angle (rather than straight up and down) is a much better test for doneness in a tall loaf cake!

Cool in the pan for 10 min, then on a wire rack for 20-30 min before slicing and enjoying.

Tips for making the best vegan banana bread

Do not overmix! 

Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Only mix until both are combined. It’s ok if some traces of dry flour are left behind.

The more you mix, the more gluten develops in the batter. If you overmix, the bread will have a dry and almost chewy, denser texture.

Measure your flour properly! 

I strongly recommend a digital kitchen scale for baking. If you don’t have one, do not scoop the flour straight from the bag with a measuring cup because you will over-measure the flour and end up with a dry banana bread.

The proper way to measure flour is to spoon it into the cup, then level it off with a knife.

Want to see the spoon and level method in action? Watch my Youtube video on banana bread (also at the end of this post), starting at the 5:20 mark.

Don’t let the batter rest too long. 

Once the baking soda starts to react with lemon juice, bubbly chemistry magic starts to happen! If you let the batter hang out for too long, though, some of those bubbles disappear. So get your batter in the pan and into the oven as quickly as you can. 

Let it rest before slicing.

The bread will be gooey if you slice it as soon as it comes out of the oven. Instead, let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes (this allows the loaf finish baking and firm up a bit).

But don’t let it sit in the pan too long, as it will cause the bread develop a soggy bottom.

Instead, after 10 minutes, lift the bread up from its parchment paper handles and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Get creative!

In these photos, you’ll see a decorative sliced banana on top of the bread. It’s a pretty way to emphasize the banana-ness of this recipe, but there are many ways to customize or jazz up your banana bread.

Instead of the sliced banana on top, here are a few options. Gently fold these into the batter after mixing the wet and dry ingredients.

  • 3/4 cup (125g) dark chocolate chips. I strongly recommend dark chocolate since the bittersweetness pairs nicely with the sweetness of the bananas and sugar.
  • Or, chop up ~ 4 oz (115g) of dark chocolate and fold that in. With chopped chocolate, you’ll get a more marbled look with melty chocolate instead of distinct chocolate chips.
  • 3/4 cup (84g) walnuts, chopped up. Or pecans. For the best flavor, toast the nuts in a frying pan or in the oven at 350ºF/175ºC until nutty and a few shades darker.
  • Or, to keep things classic but with a little flair, sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon demerara sugar on top of the batter in the pan, just before baking. It will caramelize in the oven, yielding a crackly, crunchy crust.

Note: If you want to preserve the shelf life of the banana bread, skip the optional banana on top, as it will start to blacken.

For a less sweet banana bread, use less sugar.

The bread isn’t overly sweet, but if you’re limiting your sugar intake, feel free to use as little as ¼ cup of sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Help! My bananas aren’t ripe. What should I do?

The best banana bread is made with naturally ripened bananas. However, if you must make banana bread today and your bananas are not yet overripe, here’s what to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C. Place the whole, unpeeled bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 35 minutes, or until the skins turn black all over. If they’re already somewhat ripe, stick to the lower range.

2. Strain the bananas over a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of excess moisture, as less ripe, baked bananas will have more moisture, which can weigh down the bread.

I don’t have a loaf pan. What can I use?

If you don’t have a loaf pan like this, you can use an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan.

Reduce the bake time to approximately 25 minutes. Or, make muffins (see below!).

Can I use this recipe to make banana bread muffins?


Yep! Try our Vegan Banana Muffins, which was adapted from this recipe for banana bread.

Can I add mix-ins?

Sure! The recipe card has several options, including chocolate chips, walnuts, coarse sugar, and the decorative banana topping you see in the photos.

How should I store vegan banana bread? How long does it last?


To store, place completely cooled banana bread in an airtight container or wrap tightly in plastic and leave on the counter for 3 to 5 days.

NOTE: If you plan to keep this bread longer than 1 day, skip the decorative banana topping, as it will start to brown and get mushy.

Can I freeze banana bread?

Yes. If you plan on freezing it, don’t add the decorative sliced banana on top.

Wrap cut slices or in foil, then place it in an airtight container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Slices should defrost on the counter within 30 minutes.

The Best Vegan Banana Bread

5 from 365 votes
Yes, this IS the Best Vegan Banana Bread! The tender, moist, and fluffy texture sets it apart and practically melts in your mouth! This recipe is a reader favorite for good reason: not only does it taste amazing, it requires just 10 simple ingredients.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Cuisine: American
Diet Vegan, Vegetarian
Serving size: 10

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 mL) oat milk
  • 3 medium-sized very ripe bananas (with lots of brown spots)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 6 tablespoons (90 mL) aquafaba (see Note 1)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) sunflower oil (or any neutral-flavored oil) (see Note 2)
  • 3/4 cup (130g) organic brown sugar (see Note 3)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled (see Note 4)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder!)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional, see Note 5)

Toppings / Mix-ins – PICK ONE (optional)

  • 1 banana, sliced lengthwise
  • 3/4 cup (125g) dark chocolate chips (my preference!)
  • 3/4 cup (84g) toasted walnuts, chopped
  • 1 heaping tablespoon demerara sugar (coarse sugar)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C. Arrange a rack in the middle the oven. Line a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper, letting the excess hang over the long sides to form a sling.
  • In a glass, stir the lemon juice into the oat milk and set aside. This is the vegan "buttermilk."
  • Add the three bananas to a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth and no lumps remain (this should weigh around 300-315g, or ~ 1 ⅓ cups).
  • Pour the aquafaba into a small-medium bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, whip the aquafaba on medium speed for about 45 seconds until uniformly foamy, including at the bottom (you will need to tilt the bowl).
  • Mix the liquid ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar and oil. Mix using the electric mixer until well combined.
    Add the whipped aquafaba and mix until well incorporated.
    Add in the vegan "buttermilk” and vanilla; mix again until incorporated.
    Now add the mashed bananas and mix once again until well combined.
  • Add the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) to the wet ingredients. Switch to using a silicone spatula (or wooden spoon) and gently fold the ingredients together until the batter is just barely combined (it’s okay if you can see light traces of flour).
    NOTE: If using chocolate chips or walnuts, gently fold them in now.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top of the batter using a spatula or spoon.
    NOTE: If using the decorative banana topping, keep the peel on and slice in half, lengthwise, then peel. Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on the cut sides, then gently arrange on top of the batter, sugared side up. If the batter domes up in the middle, use a spoon to move some of batter around the pan.
    NOTE: If using demerara sugar, sprinkle it evenly over the surface of the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, checking at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking. Do not open the oven door before 45 minutes, as it allows the heat to escape.
    The banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center at a slight angle comes out with a few moist crumbs (see Note 6); if there is runny batter, it needs more time.
    NOTE: If your banana bread is browning on the top but not done in the middle, loosely tent the bread with foil, then bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
    Lift up the bread from the pan using the parchment paper handles, and transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 to 30 minutes before slicing (the bread is still setting up, so don't slice too early).

Notes

  1. Aquafaba is just the liquid from a can of chickpeas. If you don’t have canned chickpeas or are allergic, use 2 flax eggs: mix 2 TBSP ground flaxseed meal with 5 TBSP water. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken. The banana bread won’t be as fluffy though. 
  2. You can even use olive oil if you prefer, though I recommend a lighter-flavored one. 
  3. If choosing between light and dark brown sugar, I like the dark variety for a deeper molasses flavor; the bread will be darker in color too. If desired, you can use coconut sugar. If you are limiting your sugar intake, you can use less sugar, as little as 1/4 cup (~40g) with decent results.
  4. If you are not using a measuring scale to weigh ingredients, spoon and level your flour so you don’t overmeasure. More info in the Tips section. 
  5. If using pre-ground nutmeg, use only 1/4 teaspoon.
  6. Don’t just insert a toothpick vertically down into the bread. Instead, insert it at an angle, which is a much better test for doneness in a tall cake.

    Thank you for the beautiful recipe.
    I baked my banana bread “customising” it.

    Please read the six things I changed:
    a) I totally skipped the aquafaba part totally; and I didn’t either use any flaxseeds; the result was just as perfect;
    b) I didn’t mash 3 bananas, I only used 2, or my banana bread will result too humid and sticky;
    c) I didn’t put the lemon juice in the oat milk, I just put oat milk. I think you don’t really need to make a vegan “buttermilk”, (perhaps not very effective?), why don’t we simplify by just using vegetal milk?;
    d) I cut the sugar to half the dose, that is 57 grams, sweet enough, everyone who tasted it told me it was sugary enough and delicious;
    e) I didn’t use baking soda, it’s not strong enough, because baking soda is just the alkaline part; I used baking powder instead, which includes both the baking soda and an acidic agent, thus creating a stronger raising. Also, I put 4 teaspoons, to have the cake raise well; so the cake was light and soft. I needed this because bananas are “heavy” and without a stronger raising agent they will make the cake thick and humid.
    f) I mixed in a few walnuts and almonds (whole almonds and walnuts split in two) for a even richer feel: do not put them on top of your batter, or they will burn, just put them about 2 cm (0.7 in) deep into the batter, they won’t “sink”.

    I do love the top decoration with the banana halves: great idea!

    Let me know what do you think of my variations, so I’ll learn from you :-)

    Usually I’m not the biggest fan of banana bread. For me it’s mostly a way of using up overripe bananas that I have no idea what to do with. But this recipe! Is! Amazing! This was the first time I was actually delighted by banana bread. The title is no exaggeration. This is indeed the very best banana bread I have ever eaten, vegan or not. (I added chopped walnuts and dried cherries).

    Went vegan a little over 6 months ago and kind of assumed I would never have proper banana bread/muffins again. I used to make them and get so many compliments and they were my favorite as well.

    I had some ripe bananas at hand yesterday so I decided I could just as well give it a shot to make a new, vegan kind, even if it wouldn’t taste as good as my non-vegan go-to from before.

    I used this recipe and I kid you not it was BETTER than what I had been making. My parents who are not vegan asked for a taste and my mom has not stopped talking about it. She asked me for the recipe so she could make it herself!

    You will be my go-to expert from now on, Nisha! :) <3

    I’ve made a lot of banana bread in my short life (at least 20 different recipes +repeats) but this is the one and only time that the banana bread came out awful and nearly inedible. It’s hard to write such a harsh review but I don’t think I ever got this upset baking banana bread lol…it took 70 minutes for it to finish baking, and all I taste is baking soda with the occasional strangely bitter taste. I only taste actual banana bread if I get lucky. I don’t know, I’ve never used baking soda in banana bread, which was weird in itself, but I went with it. And no, I didn’t mistake 1 tsp for 1 tbsp of baking soda. I weighed all the ingredients, I used aquafaba, and I am not a beginner at baking, yet this just didn’t come out right for me… disappointed that it didn’t work out because of the rave reviews, but it is what it is…although your banana bread recipe was a dud for me, I still enjoy many of the other recipes you have posted.

      I tried it using baking soda and it came out sticky, humid, not well raised.
      So I tried again, this time using baking powder, and it worked well.
      This is what I wrote in my review today:

      “I didn’t use baking soda, it’s not strong enough, because baking soda is just the alkaline part; I used baking powder instead, which includes both the baking soda and an acidic agent, thus creating a stronger raising. Also, I put 4 teaspoons, to have the cake raise well; so the cake was light and soft. I needed this because bananas are “heavy” and without a stronger raising agent they will make the cake thick and humid.”

      In my experience, baking soda can only be used effectively in cookies, as they do not need to raise much. A cake definitively needs a stronger raising agent. Mostly if it contains bananas, that are so heavy and humid.
      What do you think?

    This recipe is so, so good. I made it at high altitude with no adjustments to the recipe and it turned out perfect – the best banana bread I’ve ever had – so I would agree the recipe is not finicky. The texture was amazing. The decorative banana on top was also a real treat to eat.

    Tried this with apple sauce to replace the oil as one reader suggested.. turned out very heavy and wet. Not sure if this was due to something else. I used biocarbonate of soda as we call it. Google searches show this this is the same ? All of the other ingredients were the same minus the sugar . Should I have used baking powder ?

    1. Support @ Rainbow Plant Life

      From Nisha: “Hi Anna, I don’t recommend using applesauce as an oil substitute in banana bread or in loaf cakes in general. Applesauce is quite dense, much denser than oil, and banana bread is already dense from the bananas and also because it’s such a tall cake. This would definitely cause the bread to be heavy and wet. Bicarbonate of soda is the same thing as baking soda, and as long yours hasn’t expired, that shouldn’t make any difference. As for the sugar, did you omit the sugar or reduce it?”

    I want to try this recipe, your video was super cute and made me want to try it. I want/need to substitute the oil, can you suggest what would work best?
    Thanks very much,
    Mary 🙏

    1. Support @ Rainbow Plant Life

      Hi Mary, some people often replace oil with applesauce but Nisha hasn’t tried it herself (oftentimes when she uses applesauce as an egg substitute it makes the texture very dense). That said, take a look at Christin’s comment here in the user comments – she swapped the oil for applesauce with great results.
