From now on, this Vegan Banana Nut Bread is my go-to recipe for nutty bread. It’s

SECRET TO A MOIST BANANA BREAD!
Ripe bananas are the secret.
Yes, ripe bananas – the ones that have brown flecks on the skin (though mine were not that brown). Why brown spotted bananas?
Because the starch in the bananas have converted into sugar and that’s the reason ripe bananas taste sweet and are ideal for baking.

Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake as directed. This recipe makes a perfect bread that is enjoyable with a cup of tea, coffee, milk or just as is.

This looks incredibly moist! I must try this recipe. I bet my kid would like this bread. He loves Banana Bread.

Claire | The Simple, Sweet Life says
I’ve never tried a vegan, egg-friend bread recipe before, but given that my mother-in-law is also intolerant to eggs, I’ll definitely have to try it. I bet she’d love it! 🙂
Ruchi says
My little kiddo is egg intolerant too and he loves it.
I am sure your mother-in-law will relish it too. 🙂
Thanks, Claire!
Karyl Henry says
I’m so picky when it comes to bananas, and won’t eat them plain once they turn even slightly brown 🙂 But inevitably my bananas get too brown, so I’m going to save this recipe for the next time that happens. This bread looks fabulous, and there’s nothing like the smell of warm bread right out of the oven
Ruchi says
I agree the aroma of a freshly baked bread is heavenly. 🙂
Thanks, Karyl!
Anna says
What a beautiful recipe! We love banana bread in our house, and make it at least once a week! Such great way to use overripe bananas!
Ruchi says
It sure is. 🙂
Thanks, Anna!
Jessica (Swanky Recipes) says
I made zucchini muffins a few weeks ago with the same spices as banana bread. This week I bought a bunch of bananas and they are just about ripe. Was totally going to make banana bread and this one looks delish!
Ruchi says
Thanks, Jessica!
Zucchini baked bread is on my list next. Will give it a try. 🙂
Amanda M Mason says
Your step-by-step pictures are so helpful!! This looks amazing! Slab a bit of butter on this and it will make for the perfect breakfast!

I agree this bread is perfect for breakfast.
Thanks, Amanda!

Hello Ruchi,
Happy new year!
I like your banana nut bread recipe but I need to know if this is low carb, because I’m watching my intake of sugar.
Thanks,
Raj.
Ruchi says
Thanks for the wishes and Happy New year to you too!
This recipe has approximately 242 carbs.
But again that’s a rough estimate.
ashley says
What brand of sugar, what kind of oil did you use?
Ruchi says
Any brand of sugar and oil will work just fine with this recipe.
I have used CH superfine sugar and Crisco canola oil for this recipe.
maria says

Haven’t tried it but you can surely give it a try.
End results may vary.

Absolutely loved the vegan version Ruchi di!!
Loved the bright crisp pictures!
Ruchi says
Thanks dear. 🙂
Puja Bansal says
Can we use regular buttermilk also. if yes in what quantity
Ruchi says
Yes you sure can.
Please use the same measurements – substitutes are mentioned in the method section (step 7).
Aparna says
Amazing. Can I use regular buttermilk and vinegar? Almond milk is hard to come by and also awfully expensive
Ruchi says
Thanks Aparna!
Yes, you can use regular buttermilk. Buttermilk is milk + vinegar.
Please use the same measurements – substitutes are mentioned in the method section (step 7).
