    How to make Vegan Banana Nut Bread? Vegan Banana Nut Bread

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

    1. Sift together dry ingredients like the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. 

    2. Combine sugar and oil in a bowl, mix until combined.

    3. Meanwhile, peel and mash bananas until smooth. 

    4. Add vegan buttermilk and almond extract to the sugar-oil mixture.

    Adding nuts and walnuts to bread

    9. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Transfer the banana nut mixture to the greased pan. Tap the pan against your countertop to eliminate air bubbles from the batter. Generously sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. 

    10. Bake in a preheated oven for 40- 45 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

    Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely. Carefully un-mold the bread. Cut yourself a slice and enjoy it.

    Cooking tips to make the best Vegan Banana Nut Bread

    » This recipe has been tried in my kitchen many times, and for perfect results, I have unfolded a few of my favorite tips that will help you get the absolute PERFECT Banana nut bread every time you make!

    » You can sub plant-based milk for regular buttermilk. 

    » Feel free to use any oil you have on hand – canola oil, melted coconut oil, even melted butter (vegan)will work great. 

    A few words about Bananas!

    » Overripe bananas – that’s the secret to this moist bread. Your bananas should have lots of brown spots on it. 

    » Why use overripe bananas? Because the starch in the bananas has converted into sugar, they are sweet enough and will produce the moist banana bread ever!

    » Use three medium-sized bananas for this nut bread if you are short on one banana sub it for two tablespoons of applesauce. 

    » Do not over mix the batter. Mix just until combined. Over-mixing can result in a dense bread which no one likes. 

    » Allergic to nuts? Leave them out and sub walnuts for chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, blueberries, sunflower seeds, or dried cranberries. 

    » This bread is very soft, therefore, make sure you let the banana nut bread cool completely before slicing. Allow it to cool for an hour or more to ensure that it stays intact. Cutting the bread while it’s still hot can cause the banana nut bread to crumble. 

    » Banana bread tastes just as delicious the second day.. the third day and so on. 

    » Once baked and cooled, this banana nut bread will keep for about 2-3 days on the counter. After that, you can store it in the fridge for longer shelf life.
