Vegan Banana Bread

This vegan banana bread recipe is amazing partly because of how healthy it is, but also because no one will ever know! The only sweetener used is natural maple syrup, and flax seed is used in place of eggs. The bananas and applesauce keep the bread amazingly moist! Vegan or not it is my favorite banana bread recipe!

My family loves this vegan banana bread. Honestly the bread rarely cools all the way before it is half gone! I enjoy topping the vegan banana bread slices with almond butter or peanut butter. It also is simply delicious toasted! Pour a glass of your favorite milk and enjoy this banana bread for the perfect snack!

Using Ground Flaxseed as Egg Replacement

For each egg a baking recipe calls for use 1 tbsp of finely ground flaxseed. In addition add 3 tablespoons of dairy free milk or water. For this recipe we add 1/3 cup of applesauce in place of the liquid.

1 egg = 1 tbsp. ground flax seed + 3 tbsp liquid

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees before you get started cooking. This way it will be ready for your batter as soon as you have it mixed up! This recipe is easy to pull together so no need to wait!

You first want to mix together your wet ingredients and spices in a medium mixing bowl. First mash up your bananas I find it takes about 3 ripe bananas to make 1 1/2 cups of mash. Combine warm coconut oil with mashed ripe bananas, flax seed, and maple syrup. Then add in baking soda, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, applesauce, and milk. Mix up with a fork. Now in a large bowl place the flour and chopped walnuts (feel free to substitute pecans, or remove the nuts if you have an allergy) Pour wet ingredients over dry and mix until just combined. (it’s okay if there are still some flour pockets left. Grease a 9×5″ bread pan and pour in batter. Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool on rack for 5-7 minutes then slice!
