Recipe tips
Find a good vegan butter. My favorite lately is Miyoko’s brand. Their cultured butter is amazing and will make this banana bread even better.
Don’t over mix the batter. It will make the bread tough. Stir it just enough to fold in the flour.
Sprinkle brown sugar on top right before baking. Trust me, this brown sugar crust will knock your socks off.

Measure the flour correctly! Use the spoon and level method by scooping the flour out of the bag with a spoon, and putting it into the measuring cup. Then level it off with the flat end of a knife. Measuring like this ensures that you’re not using too much flour.
Storing tips
Cover the banana bread and store it on the counter. Putting it in the fridge might make it a little soggy. It should last for about a week.
FAQ
Can I turn this into banana muffins?
These would definitely be good as banana muffins as well. Try it out!
Can I make this oil free?
Absolutely! Just replace the vegan butter with applesauce. Use unsweetened if you’d like less sugar.
What if my bananas aren’t ripe yet?
Here’s how to ripen bananas quicker. Banana bread is a lot better if the bananas are naturally ripened, but if you don’t want to wait you can:
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place unpeeled bananas on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-35 minutes, or until the skins turn black all over.
2. Strain bananas over a strainer to get rid of excess moisture, as baked bananas will have more moisture. Peel and mash.
Can I add in chocolate chips or nuts?
Absolutely! Just make sure to use dairy free chocolate chips to keep this recipe vegan.
Can I freeze banana bread?
Yes! My mom does this all the time. It’s great to make multiple batches of banana bread at the same time and then freeze a couple loaves to have on hand.
Just store in freezer-friendly ziploc or re-usable silicone bags. It keeps in the freezer for about 3-4 months.
Before eating, let it thaw out on the counter.
Can I make this with oil instead of butter?
Yes, absolutely. Just use ⅓ cup of neutral tasting oil like vegetable oil.
Can I make this gluten free?
I haven’t tried making this gluten free, but I’ve heard readers having success using an all-purpose gluten free flour mix, like Bob’s red mill.
