Ingredients for Preparing Vegan Banana Bread

Here are the ingredients that you need to prepare the vegan banana bread.

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas 
• ⅔ cup of granulated brown sugar
• ⅓ cup of vegan butter, melted
• ¼ cup of oat milk, or any other plant-based milk
• 5 tablespoons of water 
• 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• ½ tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• ½ teaspoon of salt 
• ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, freshly ground 
• ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, freshly ground
• ½ cup of non-dairy chocolate chips, optional
• ½ cup of chopped walnuts, optional

Instructions for Preparing Vegan Banana Bread

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to prepare this classic vegan banana bread recipe.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F(or 180°C). Line an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan with parchment paper and grease the inside of the pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with the water. Set aside to thicken.

Step 3: In a big bowl, add in the mashed banana, vegan butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, flaxseed mix, and milk, and mix until well combined.

Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5: Now, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Step 7: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.

Step 8: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a couple of minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling for up to 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

• When mixing the dry and wet ingredients, make sure not to overmix, as it is quite normal to still see lumps of banana after mixing them.
