Vegan Classic Style Banana Bread ~

A quick and easy vegan loaf bread.

The secret ingredient – bananas at the just-ripe stage to provide enough starchy structure that eggs are not necessary!

Vegan Classic Style Banana Bread

Know what I haven’t made in forever?

Banana bread!

 

Important notes about the bananas:

You know how everyone always says to use super ripe bananas?

That is what is traditionally used, however, it turns out that this is not the rule when baking vegan banana bread.

So what kind of bananas work best here?

The ones that are at the perfect stage for eating (ripe but still firm).

And the reason why, according to America’s Test Kitchen is that bananas at this just-ripe stage are actually starchier and provide enough structure that an egg substitute is not even needed.

Interesting, right?

So, that is what I used – bananas I would have love to eat but instead put them in the bread – and they worked beautifully!

Enjoy!

 

Ingredients for Vegan Classic Style Banana Bread:

  • walnuts
  • all-purpose flour
  • granulated sugar
  • baking soda
  • sea salt
  • medium-ripe bananas
  • vegetable oil
  • vegan sour cream
  • lemon juice
  • vanilla bean paste

How to make Vegan Classic Style Banana Bread:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
 
To a small skillet over medium heat, add walnuts. Cook until lightly toasted.
 
Together in a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in walnuts.

Into a food processor, add bananas. Pulse 10 times, until mostly smooth but some chunkiness still remains.

Add vegetable oil, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste. Pulse 4 more times to combine.
 
Into the flour mixture, gently fold in the banana mixture, just until blended.
 
Into a prepared 9″x5″ loaf pan, pour all the batter and smooth the top.
 
Bake 1 hour. After removing from oven, allow bread to stand in pan 10 minutes then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack.
 
Cool completely before slicing and serving.
 
 
Cheers!
