Easy Vegan Banana Bread that's 100% whole grain, perfectly sweet and moist, and takes less than 10 minutes to whip up! A healthy and simple recipe that will be the only banana bread you ever need.
THOSE CHUNKS THOOOOOO.
I've always been a gigantic banana bread girl. Who in their right mind doesn't like banana bread? I cannot comprehend.
I grew up eating banana bread at least monthly. My mumsy was a baker extraordinaire. She may not have been whipping up The Best Gluten Free Banana Bread, but I have vivid memories of powdered sugar dusted apple cake, brownies (ya know, the recipe on the side of cocoa box), cream cheese cookies, and baked apples.
She never made banana bread without oodles of chocolate chips. Smart lady. Oh, and walnuts! Everything had walnuts. I remember complaining as a kid but now I'm obsessed.
When chocolate chips are an option, I'm always there. I never saw the point of chocolate-less banana bread when it's such a stupendous vehicle for it. I chopped up a 72% dark chocolate bar from Trader Joe's for this guy and it was divine.
So here we are today with a stupid easy, insanely moist, incredibly delish, 100% whole grain and vegan recipe for AMAZING healthy banana bread. It's a big day for us!!
This baby comes together in like nine minutes, which is splendid since it has to bake for over an hour and then cool. Bottom line--make this in the morning so you can munch on it by lunch time.
Key ingredients, substitutions, and tips
Whole wheat pastry flour: So fluffy! I love using this flour in quick breads because it gives you the 100% whole grain benefit without the super "wheaty" taste of whole grain flour. You can easily sub it out for all purpose flour, too.
Banana: This recipe is banana heavy because it's BANANA BREAD, ya dig? Use the ripest bananas you have to get the most natural sweetness bang for your buck. Mine were pretty much black. It's cool! Measure out 1 ½ cups the banana after you mash it as bananas greatly vary in size. I find that frozen bananas are too liquidy so I don't recommend going that route.
Sugar: We're using granulated sugar to keep this vegan banana bread recipe affordable and accessible for everyone. You can also use coconut sugar. If you're used to sweeter, more "classic" banana bread, you can use ¾ cup. Maple syrup works beautifully as well if you're looking for a more natural sweetener! I tried this recipe with ⅓ cup maple syrup and while it was delish, I did have to cook it for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Non-dairy milk: I used unsweetened vanilla almond. We're adding a splash of vinegar for that buttermilk effect. Lemon juice also works.
Oil: Any neutral flavored oil is great here--avocado, melted coconut oil, etc. Moisture time!
Vanilla and cinnamon: To enhance the banana bread flavor. You can omit the cinnamon if you're not a fan but I love the warmth it adds.
Chocolate chips: I pretty much live for chocolate chips, but you can leave them out if that's your jam. You could also use walnuts! Cost saving tip: I like to get the big bag of dairy-free chocolate chips from Costco (you can buy them on Amazon, too).
Let's make muffins!
This recipe makes incredible muffins. Simply follow the recipe, pour the batter into a muffin tin, then bake for about 23 minutes (or until golden brown). The fluff factor may just blow your mind.
Can this be made gluten free?
Why yes, it can! I would recommend this gluten free baking flour to make it gluten-free. It works like a charm!
Storage tips
- The best place to store banana bread is on the countertop in an air-tight container for up to three days. If you still have some left to munch on, you can store in the fridge for up to a week or more and it will stay moist.
- To freeze bread, simply wrap the loaf tightly in foil then in a plastic bag with the air squeezed out. It will stay fresh for up to four months. You can thaw it on the counter when you’re ready to eat.

Description
Vegan Banana Bread that's 100% whole grain, perfectly sweet and moist, and takes less than 10 minutes to whip up! A healthy and super simple banana bread recipe that will quickly become a favorite. See notes for gluten free options!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup non dairy milk + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cups very overripe bananas, mashed (about 3 medium bananas)
- ½ cup organic cane sugar (or ⅓ cup maple syrup)
- ¼ cup avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all purpose flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x5in loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Place almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Stir and set aside.
- Measure out bananas in a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them well. Add sugar or syrup, oil, and vanilla, whisking to combine. Stir in milk.
- Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until just barely combined (a few flour clumps are okay). Fold in chocolate chips, being careful not to over-mix.
- Pour into loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes for maple syrup version), or until a knife comes out clean. If your loaf looks like it's getting too browned, quickly slide a piece of tin foil on top after 50 minutes. Once done, carefully remove from pan and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing.
Notes
This bread is delicious with my Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting!
TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE: Do not substitute almond flour or coconut flour for the whole wheat flour; they are not even substitutes and your banana bread will not turn out. For a gluten-free version, readers have had success with 2 cups of 1:1 GF baking flour OR 1 ½ GF baking flour + ½ cup almond flour. Or try my Best Gluten Free Banana Bread!
MUFFINS: To make muffins, simply pour batter into a muffin tin and bake for 23 minutes, or until golden on top and a knife comes out clean.
STORAGE: Store leftovers on the counter wrapped in foil or in a sealed container for up to three days before refrigerating/freezing.

Laura says
Delicious and easy to make. The kids loved it. We used maple syrup and almond milk and it was yum. I only needed to bake it for 45 minutes.
Can we replace the flour with oat flour? Or even 50/50 flour/oat flour?
Thanks!

Oh this looks great!!!
I only have to ripe bananas tho, do you reckon that will work aswell?
Cheers xx

Mimi says
have made this so many times and love it to bits, with the whole banana flavour coming through. do you think i could make an oil free version, using maybe nut butter or soy yoghurt?? cheers xx
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Awesome, so glad you loved it! I don't have much experience with oil-free baked goods so I'm not sure, sorry Mimi! I'd worry it would be gummy/dry/not a great texture.
Lisa says
We have company this weekend and I made this recipe for the weary travelers to snack on when they arrived. My friend commented that she doesn't normally care for banana bread but she absolutely loved this recipe. Thanks for a great recipe!!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Awwww the ultimate compliment!! Thanks so much 🙂
Kat says
So delicious! Not too sweet (I used maple syrup) and the perfect consistency/texture. I doubled the recipe (and added walnuts!) which made one 9x5 loaf and a dozen muffins. I think the loaf turned out better than the muffins (probably just because of the crust) but both were delish. I will def be making this again!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Yayyy thanks, Kat!! So glad you loved them 🙂
Maddy says
I've been making this banana bread for YEARS but I've never left a review somehow! It's the best vegan recipe there is. I also made it into muffins today for the first time ever and those came out amazing. I've gotten so many compliments on this bread when I make it for friends and family. I'll never use a different recipe!
★★★★★
Alexis Joseph says
Thank you so much, Maddy! That means a ton!! You made my day 🙂
Kelly says
Just made these and they turned out perfect! I'm not gluten free, but had some Bob's Red Mill 1:1 in the cabinet so I subbed the gf flour equally. I also subbed applesauce equally in place of the oil. Even with these two swaps they turned out amazing- they are not overly sweet and are moist/springy, not dense at all. My husband said if he wasn't already told they were oil free, vegan, and gluten free he would have never have known the difference. That's a huge win. Thanks for a great + easy + delicious recipe!

Oh wow, so awesome! Thanks, Kelly!

soultruth says
So Yummy! Saving this recipe!! This came out so moist!
What I did different:
- I used melted unrefined coconut oil, i love the taste of it.
- I didn't have whole wheat pastry flour, just whole wheat flour. I read that pastry flour is finer and has less gluten.
- I had 3 medium ripe bananas not large, I didn't measure how cups it ended being after I mashed them.
- I used coconut sugar instead of maple or sugar
- i used oat milk instead
- had to add 1/3 cup more milk to the batter
- because of adding more milk i added 1 teaspoon baking powder to ensure it didn't get to doughy.
I think because I used whole wheat flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour it made the batter thicker (more gluten?). I had to add an additional 1/3 cup oat milk to get a nice banana bread batter. Loved the addition of chocolate chips (I didn't have chunks)! Wish I added more!

I just made it . I used 5 average sized bananas and my pan was the 8x8x2. I baked it for 1 hour and 7 minutes and the edges were a bit chewy. Next time I’ll try just exactly 1 hour for this size of pan. It still turned out really good and moist inside though.

Hello!!! I wanted to ask if I don’t use any sweetener at all do you think it would be ok? I want to make it for my baby but don’t want it to be too sweet... will it be ok because of the sweet bananas? Plus, if I use oat flour instead of whole wheat? Will that be ok?
Thanks so much for replying! Greetings from Cyprus!
Alexis Joseph says
Hi there! I would not recommend using oat flour as I haven't tested it with that flour and it can be very dense! I also haven't tried it without sweetener...but it should be fine, just less sweet of course 🙂 Enjoy!

This is the BEST banana bread I’ve ever made! My favorite recipe growing up was one loaded with butter and eggs and tons of sugar... and this much healthier and vegan version is RIDICULOUS! So moist, perfectly sweet, and satisfying. Thank you so much!
Alexis says
You made my day! Thanks so much!
kelly uman says
I used oat milk, cane sugar and half whole wheat AP flour/half white flour but the batter was too dry so I had to add some extra oat milk. It came out great. Thanks for the recipe.
Alexis says
Interesting! Did you spoon and level the flour versus packing it in? Glad it still came out great for ya!
Alex says
Loved it!

Holy smokes, looks so good. You're totally right...THOSE CHUNKS THO. I'll bet this would be an even better vehicle for peanut butter than regular banana bread. I don't usually add chocolate to my banana bread, but topped with peanut butter? It just makes sense.

Yesss peanut butter is the BEST!

I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand, so I subbed canola oil instead of avocado. (I’m also glad to finally use my apple cider vigegar for something other than fruit flies - lol.)
So good. This is definitely bookmarked as my favourite banana bread recipe. I’ve always subbed out egg in other recipes with something else (apple sauce, flax seed, extra oil, more banana, etc...) and I was definitely missing out. Mine rose so much, it’s the fluffiest banana bread I’ve ever made.
★★★★★
Alexis says
Awww yay! Yes the egg totally helps with fluffy factor 🙂 Thanks, Rosalyn.

I made this last night and it was so good! The recipe is super easy and delicious. The bread has a wonderful banana flavor. My husband said it was the best banana bread he's ever had.
I normally try to make recipes eat least once before I start subbing things out, but I didn't have whole wheat flour so I used organic unbleached all-purpose, and I used organic canola instead of coconut. It was still amazing, the hallmark of a strong recipe.
This will be our go-to banana bread recipe from now on. Thank you!

This was by far the best banana bread I've ever made AND Eaten! It had all disappeared within 2 hours of leaving the oven!!! Such a bonus that the ingredients are all yummy and healthy so that means you can just eat it all in one go right? 😀 No but seriously I'm about to go make 10 loaves and freeze them so I don't have to go without ever again haha! Thank you for this. Also, I opted to use coconut oil and maple syrup.

Yay!! Thank you so much!! Freeze away 🙂

I baked this today and it is delicious. I didn't have almond milk so I used cashew milk. I also used half and half wholemeal flour with self raising flour as I'm in the UK and I wasn't sure what would be a good substitute. I added some chopped pecans and walnuts and used Green and Blacks dark organic chocolate cut into chunks. It worked so well. It's very simple and I highly recommend it.

Hi I just made this yesterday and it was soooooo good!!! We used maple syrup for sweetener and it worked great (although your right we did have to bake it for 70 mins - totally worth it though). Im thinking of making this again for Christmas day and i'm wondering if you think I could use almond butter instead of coconut oil. Its pretty different, but I think the flavor could be really good.
★★★★★
Alexis says
Yay! I would say you could swirl in almond butter but maybe not replace since it doesn’t have as much fat. Enjoy!

Just made this and it's AMAZING! I used 4 bananas instead of 3, did the maple syrup version and used a mixture of plain white flour and self raising flour instead of the pastry flour (it was all I had) but it turned out perfect, so moist (sorry to people to hate that word?) and delicious! First banana loaf I've made and by far the best I've tasted!

First banana loaf I've made and by far the best I've tasted!
Thank you for the recipe 😀

Love this recipe so much! I usually make it in muffin form (bakes for about 15-18 min), and I used white whole-wheat flour this last time and it was perfect.

Amazing recipe! I probably make it 1-2 times a month - always having leftover ripe bananas to use. I like to make the recipe into muffins (bake 15 or so minutes) because waiting for the loaf is hard for me 🙂 Thanks for the amazing recipe as always!

I made this last night and it is already halfway gone! It is so delicious and it was so easy to make. I used spelt flour and added two extra tablespoons of milk (I used unsweetened vanilla flax milk to keep it but free). I also swirled a cinnamon, sugar and melted butter combination throughout the bread, in place of using chocolate chips. I baked it for 50 minutes and it was done! I like the rustic look of the bread and the entire house smelled so amazing!

Hey! I love this recipe. I added walnuts and chocolate chunks and dubbed it Chunky Monkey Banana Bread!! So darn good with some vanilla fro yo. Since I didn’t have avo oil on hand, I subbed equal parts applesauce and vanilla almond milk. Also, I used whole oats in place of the flour, and agave nectar as the sweetener. Love to know that I’m feeling my body REAL food and also eating a yummy slice or two of nanner bread while curled up on the couch next to my hubs and kids ?? Love ALL your recipes,

I made this yesterday with regular flour and took it out or the oven after 1hr and 5 minutes. It was very dark and not that moist. Any ideas?
Alexis says
No idea—I’ve never got that feedback before! Did the batter seem dry? Were the bananas really ripe?
Anna says
The batter seemed fine! And the bananas were turning black. You don't think it was the flour? I'going to attempt to make it again, maybe cover with foil?

This came out soooooo good! For anyone avoiding added sugars, I used Lakanto monkfruit sweetener in place of the sugar, and Lily's chocolate chips (vegan & sweetened with stevia). Since ripe bananas are already so sweet on their own, no one could tell a difference!

Made this today using the GF flour blend suggestion (1.5c GF flour, .5c almond meal) and it worked out great. I skipped the chocolate to keep it traditional but think I will try the chocolate version next time.
The only issue was that there was a slight bi-carb taste left after baking. I guess I just used too much? It's definitely supposed to be baking soda, not baking powder?
Alexis says
Yep, baking soda. Glad you enjoyed it!
Jessica says
I used coconut sugar and coconut oil and it turned out well texture-wise. I also skipped the choc chips and used walnuts instead. But I got a slightly salty taste in my loaf. I'm guessing this is due to the fact that the walnuts don't help to neutralize the baking soda as chocolate would. Next time I will try with the choc chips or scale back the soda.

I just made the recipe and it is delicious. I could not tell it was not traditional banana bread. I made a couple of alterations. I used 1 1/2 cups wheat flour and 1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour. I also ran out of oil so I used 1/8 cup of safflower oil and 1/8 cup water. I also did not have almond milk so I just used water. The bread was amazing. I replaced my old recipe with this one.

This banana bread looks absolutely beautiful, and I'm very excited to make it! I know this is crazy since chocolate is a major part of the recipe, but I don't eat chocolate. I've looked at other banana bread recipes and I like yours the best. If I do leave the chocolate out, might you suggest a specific modification in regard to the baking of it? Longer time to cook? More of another ingredient instead, such as sugar? Looking forward to your reply.

Alexis says
You can simply leave the chocolate chips out—it won’t really effect anything. Enjoy!

Oh. My. God. Alexis
This is heaven on a plate. I'm cutting out sugar for a month, and I was craving banana bread so I decided to make your recipe. I was worried about how it would turn out but it was warm, flavourful, subtly sweet, crunchy (I used walnuts instead of chocolate) and dripping with banana goodness! I made it today, and two thirds of the banana bread is already GONE. My parents, usually massive health freaks and super frugal with desserts asked for seconds. If that's not a good sign, I don't know what is!! I've posted about how amazing this is on my story (@sreyaway) and I'm pretty sure that this will become a staple in our household! It's even better than normal banana bread. Direct quote from Dad: "Why should we buy bread when what you make tastes this amazing!" Wish I could chuck a 6 star rating on this!
Keep on creating! I'll definitely look at more of your delish recipes in the future!

Hello Alexis,
Thanks a lot for your recipe, I did it yesterday, we tasted it this morning with my partner and we loved it!
I used spelt flour that was the only one available in my kitchen and that was great.
I would need to bake another one gluten-free for his aunt and I was thinking of using rice flour and I was curious about your opinion.
Do you think it could work??
Thanks for your help Alexis!

Hey Sabrina! I’d use a 1:1 all purpose gluten-free flour. I had success with Namaste brand. I heads Trader Joe’s didn’t work—might be because it doesn’t have xantham gun.

Hi - I made this last night and am wondering where I went wrong with the recipe. I followed it exactly and the batter was extremely thick, almost like a cookie crumble. I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem? Really wanted to try this - it sounds amazing!
★★
Alexis says
Oh no! Did you measure the flour properly? It should be spooned and leveled, not packed in. Did you use very ripe brownish bananas?
Laurie says
Yes - the bananas were very ripe! I used 2 cups of almond flour but did not pack it. Wondering if I should try to add more than just 1/4 cup of the almond milk?
Alexis says
Interesting. The recipe calls for whole wheat pastry flour—I have no idea about the results with almond meal. I’d need to do some tinkering. Sorry!

Intrigued by the use of avocado oil. I've never used it in baking, only in cooking, and I've been wondering how it holds up. I never really like the way coconut oil works out in baked goods, but avo oil seems like it should be a more straightforward sub. I'm excited to try this!
Alexis says
Hi there! Avocado oil is a high heat oil similar to canola oil in its neutral flavor making it great for baking. Coconut oil tastes coconutty unless it's refined plus I'm too lazy to melt it and clean another bowl--that's pretty much why I use avocado oil in addition to it being so heart-healthy 😉

Hmmm I think it’s worth a shot! Let me know how it goes 🙂 I get almond meal will make it extra moist.

Girl, this looks amazing!!! I have at last 1 c of GF all purpose flour, & I read that fine almond meal could be used in place of some. I know you can’t advise since you haven’t tried it that way, but to your knowledge, would it work? I may make a special trip to the store for more flour anyway since it’s needed to keep on hand. ? Thank you for the recipe!!

I just made this recipe and it is off the charts good, I used spelt flour instead and made muffins since they are easier to freeze. New go to staple for sure!!!
