    Everyone in our house gets pumped when the bananas are starting to over ripen because they know that means it’s banana bread time!

    This vegan banana bread recipe is made with my newest favorite egg substitute: aquafaba! If you’re not familiar with aquafaba, it’s the liquid in cans of white beans. So, next time you use a can of chickpeas or navy beans, save that juice, and get to baking!

    Read on for the recipe, and keep your eye out at the end for a bonus banana bread recipe at the bottom, along with some variations. Happy baking!

    Vegan Banana Bread

    Recipe

    Ingredients

    • 3 medium sized overripe bananas
    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 cup aquafaba
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups whole wheat flour
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • sprinkle of salt

    Supplies

    • Large bowl
    • Knife
    • Cutting board
    • Standard loaf pan (~8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches)
    • Masher (or fork)

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

    2. Using a masher or a fork, place your peeled bananas in the bowl, and mash those babies up. You want to keep a little bit of consistency, so doing it by hand is best.

    3. Combine ingredients. Begin adding the honey and aquafaba, and mix them thoroughly with the banana. Then fold in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.

    4. Grease and fill the loaf pan. For this recipe, I used coconut oil, but you could use any plant based oil of choice. Make sure to get the sides well, Then, put it all in the loaf pan.

    5. Brush the top with aquafaba to create a crispier top layer.

    6. Bake for 45 minutes. Depending on your altitude and oven this may change slightly. Ultimately, you want to be able to pull out a (mostly) clean fork.

    • Add your favorite toppings! Walnuts, oats, and chocolate chips are a few of my favorites.
