Vegan & Oil-Free Banana Bread
This OIL-FREE and VEGAN Banana Bread is so easy to make, and SO delicious! This makes a great snack for a child's lunchbox, or even as a treat after school!
Equipment
- 1 Bread Loaf Pan
- Parchment Paper, is using Non-Silicone
- Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 2 Small Bowls
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Non-Dairy Milk (I used unsweetened Soy Milk)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer
- ¼ cup Cold Water
- 1 ¼ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1 cup Organic All-Purpose Flour (Unbleached)
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 1 cup Mashed Ripe Bananas (Roughly 3 medium Bananas)
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Pre-heat Oven to 350°F.
- Prepare your Bread Pan. Line the bottom of your Bread Pan (if not using a Silicone one) with Parchment paper.TIP: I like to butter or oil the bottom of the Bread Pan JUST ENOUGH, so that the parchment will stick to it.
- In a small bowl or cup, mix the Non-Dairy Milk with the Lemon juice and set aside. (This will create a Buttermilk mixture that will thicken.)
- In a small bowl, Mix the Egg Replacer with the Cold Water until frothy and set aside.
- Combine all the dry ingredients (Flours, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Sugar & Salt) together in a large bowl.
- In a medium size bowl, mash your Bananas if not mashed already.
- Add the Apple Sauce, Vanilla, Buttermilk & Egg Replacer to the Bananas. Mix well.
- Add the Wet Ingredients to the Dry Ingredients, and mix just enough to that the ingredients are all combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared Bread Pan and place on middle rack of oven.
- BAKE at 350° for 60 minutes. (Or until a toothpick comes out clean)
- Once done, remove from oven and place the pan on a rack and let it cool.
Notes
My kids prefer their Banana Bread without nuts or raisins, but you could add anything you want into the batter before baking!
