Vegan baking can be a little bit like Goldilocks in the classic fairy tale. Home cooks can find one recipe to be too dry, the next too moist; another one can be too sweet, but the next is not sweet enough. Happy ending alert: This vegan banana nut bread recipe is “just right” in every way.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup refined coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or soymilk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350° F. Grease bottom only of 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat sugar, bananas, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth. Stir in almond milk and vinegar. Add flour, baking soda and salt; stir just until moistened. Stir in walnuts. Pour into pan.
  • 3
    Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and crack in top of loaf appears dry. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan, and place on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing. Wrap cooled bread in plastic wrap, and store in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To ripen bananas quickly, place in a brown paper bag at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
  • tip 2
    Cooking Vegan? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegan. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • tip 3
    If your coconut oil has solidified, simply place the jar in a bowl of hot water. We used refined coconut oil for its neutral flavor, but if you love the flavor of coconut, you can use unrefined virgin coconut oil.
  • tip 4
    Look for vegan, organic, fine-crystal baker’s sugar that will dissolve quickly in the batter.
  • tip 5
    This bread may be a little denser, but with a strong banana flavor, than a banana bread made with eggs.
