How to Make Eggless Banana Bread

With egg prices soaring insanely this year I think even us non-vegan people are looking for a good egg-free banana bread recipe because this is getting absolutely obnoxious.

I mean we have bananas that have been sitting there waiting for the next time we decide to use them up but that next time never comes because, well everything is expensive and we would rather save those eggs for something else.

This is the best eggless banana bread recipe ever!

Plus with hundreds of banana bread recipes online it was a bit hard to find the right one, a lot of them were pretty gummy (thanks to not using any eggs) and lacked that depth of flavor that comes from the eggs as well.

So I took it upon myself to make an original recipe for a moist bread that tastes out of this world as well.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store this eggless banana cake for later?

To store this for later you can either wrap the whole loaf with plastic wrap or slice individual slices it and place them in an airtight container and into the fridge for up to 7 days. Make sure to let it get back to room temperature before enjoying it or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it up.

Yes! Again you can freeze the whole loaf in an airtight container or wrapped with plastic wrap or slice it and freeze it that way so it’s easier to. pull out just a few slices when needed.

What are some egg substitutes for banana bread?

A lot of time you can actually use the banana instead of the egg which is what we did here but here are some other egg replacer iceas to try in your next banana bread:

• Flax eggs
• Apple sauce
• Chia egg

Is there a way to accelerate the ripening of bananas?

If you don’t have ripe bananas and want to make this, place your bananas in a paper brown bag, close it, and allow it to sit on the counter overnight. The next morning your bananas will be ready for this recipe.

What is the best way to mash bananas?

Out of laziness I usually mash the bananas with my electric hand mixer or stand mixer, but mashing them with a fork works just as well. For an ultra-smooth texture, you could also run the bananas in a food processor or a blender. This will make the banana bread texture very soft, but if you like chunky bananas in your banana bread I would recommend doing it by hand.

Is banana bread healthy?

I can see how this can be a question because we are using bananas and they’re technically healthy but this bread isn’t really healthy. It uses sugar, flour, and fats that can be seen as a bit much but healthy can be defined in many different ways. So technically in moderation, this is fine for you!
