Banana Bread No Eggs Recipe
This Healthy Banana Bread No Eggs recipe offers a delicious, egg-free version of the classic banana bread, perfect for those with dietary restrictions or preferences like veganism or egg allergies. Made with simple ingredients such as ripe bananas, whole wheat flour, and natural sweeteners, this recipe creates a moist and flavorful loaf that’s healthier than traditional banana bread.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls One for combining the wet ingredients (bananas, sweeteners, milk, etc.) and one for the dry ingredients
- Fork or Potato Masher To mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Whisk or Spoon For mixing the dry ingredients together evenly and for combining the wet and dry ingredients.
- 9x5-inch loaf pan The standard size for baking banana bread. You can lightly grease it or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup dairy-free milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl and mix in maple syrup, milk, oil, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed, then fold in optional add-ins.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Ripe Bananas Are Key: The riper your bananas, the sweeter and moister your bread will be. Overripe bananas (with brown spots) are ideal for this recipe.
- Sweetener Variations: Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup or use other sweeteners like coconut sugar or agave. However, liquid sweeteners can affect the texture, so use them in moderation.
- Flour Substitutes: You can substitute whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour blend if needed. Just remember that it may alter the texture slightly.
- Oil Alternatives: For a lighter version, replace vegetable oil with applesauce, which will also help keep the bread moist without extra fat.
- Check for Doneness: Since oven temperatures vary, start checking for doneness around 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the bread is ready.
- Customize with Add-ins: Feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), dairy-free chocolate chips, or dried fruit to personalize your banana bread.
- Cooling Time: Allow the banana bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the loaf sets properly and slices neatly.
- Storage: Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.
