Healthy Vegan Banana Bread
I love a good Healthy Vegan Banana Bread and this recipe tastes just like the real deal. Using all healthier replacements for the regular flours, sugars, dairy milks and even eggs to make a healthier, vegan loaf that is just delicious. Top with beautiful banana slices that give your loaf an extra moist touch and brush with maple syrup for a final, shiny finishing.
To make Healthy Vegan Banana Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Healthy Vegan Banana Bread
1 | Preheat oven and prepare baking pan | |
Preheat the oven to 360 °F and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking parchment paper. | ||
2 | Prepare flax/chia egg | 10 |
In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons flax or chia meal with ⅓ cup lukewarm water. Set aside and allow to set for 10 minutes. | ||
3 | Mash bananas | 3 |
In a bowl, using a fork, mash 3 peeled bananas. | ||
4 | Prepare banana batter | 2 |
In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the mashed bananas with ⅓ cup of unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup of melted coconut oil and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice for 1 minute until a batter forms with no lumps. | ||
5 | Combine dry ingredients | 3 |
In a different bowl, whisk 2 cups of oat flour, ½ cup of rolled oats, ⅓ cup of almond flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ cup of coconut sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to combine. | ||

Add dry ingredients to the bowl of banana batter along with the flax or chia egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a spatula, combine all ingredients but don't over mix. | ||
7 | Add walnuts | 2 |
Fold in ⅓ cup of chopped walnuts if you wish. | ||
8 | Decorate loaf | 2 |
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and top with slices of fresh banana, if you wish. Gently press them into the batter slightly. | ||
9 | Bake | 60 |
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs. | ||
10 | Add maple syrup | 10 |
Allow the banana loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and generously brushing with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. | ||
11 | Serve | |
Cool for about 4 hours before slicing and serving. | ||
