Why I Love This Recipe
This BEST Eggless Banana Bread recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients. The batter takes about 10 minutes to throw together, and it produces a delicious bread with the perfect texture…moist and dense! Totally irresistible. The walnuts add an extra layer of texture and flavor, which makes it even more delicious, but if you have a nuts allergy at home, just skip them. Do you prefer muffins instead?

Step 3 – Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas; mix until combined. Add in buttermilk, vanilla, and sugar; mix to combine. You’ll need:
Bananas: You need 3 spotty medium-size bananas for this recipe, about 300 -350 g. Butter: You can substitute butter for oil. However, I prefer to use butter since it adds a deep flavor to the banana bread. Buttermilk: You can use store-bought or make your own substitute at home. Check out my post about Easy Homemade Buttermilk Substitute [Video]. Sugar: Light or dark brown sugar works best for this recipe. You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar. However, the texture will be slightly different since the brown sugar makes a denser, moister bread. Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Make sure they are not expired. Salt: I recommend using kosher or sea salt for the best flavor. However, if you only have table salt handy, reduce the quantity to half. Flour: You can swap up to half the all-purpose flour for whole wheat for denser bread.
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350º F. Grease with no-stick baking spray on a bread loaf pan. Step 2 – In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Step 4 – Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until combined. Stir in walnuts (if using) and mix until just combined. Step 5 – Pour the mixture into the prepared bread loaf pan. Step 6 – Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Allow it to cool before removing it from the pan.
Storing & Freezing Instructions
Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 4 – 5 days, or wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. For freezing, I recommend cutting the bread into individual slices and then freezing. Dairy-Free: Use your favorite plant-based milk to make homemade buttermilk. Make sure to use an unflavored, unsweetened variety of non-dairy milk. Soy and oat milk have the best consistency and very neutral flavors. Make your dairy-free buttermilk: mix 1 cup plant-based milk + 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit for five minutes until the milk looks like it has curdled.

For baking, my favorite dairy-free butter substitutes are Miyoko’s Creamery Organic Vegan Butter and Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks. When mashing the banana leave them as chunky or as smooth as you prefer to achieve the texture you like in your banana bread. Baking time will vary slightly depending on the moisture and sugar content of your bananas, so I recommend starting to check for doneness around 50 minutes and then every 5 minutes after. Wrap banana bread in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
