- ¼ tasa Asukal ng niyog - or any granulated sugar you like
- ⅓ tasa Banayad na Lasa ng Langis ng Oliba - or canola oil

tagubilin
- Painitin ang oven sa 350°F (180°C). Lagyan ng parchment paper ang isang 9-pulgada x 5-pulgadang loaf pan. Pahiran nang bahagya ng mantika ang papel at ang pan gamit ang oil spray o coconut oil. Itabi.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a potato masher or a fork or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer. Mash until almost no lumps show, it must be very runny for an ultra-moist texture. Measure 1 cup + 1/2 cup of mashed bananas – if extra, freeze for later.
- Stir the olive oil, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and salt with the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Sa isa pang mangkok, haluin ang harina, baking powder, baking soda, at cinnamon.
- Fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the batter is consistent.
- Idagdag ang tinadtad na mani kung ninanais.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the center rack of the oven until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean – about 50 – 55 minutes. You can add a piece of foil on top of the pan after 30 minutes to prevent the banana bread from browning too fast.
- Palamigin sa isang wire rack nang 2 oras bago hiwain.
Imbakan

Ingredients at Substitutions
To make this one-bowl banana bread recipe, you need the following:
- Hinog na Saging – Find bananas with black spots on their skin. The ripest, the sweetness the banana bread will be without adding tons of sugar. That’s the trick to making a low-sugar banana bread recipe.
- Flour ng Lahat-Lyong or white whole wheat pastry flour or spelt flour – this recipe doesn’t work with oat flour or almond flour. For a gluten-free version, use my gabay sa pagpapalit na walang gluten. Try my vegan oat banana bread if you want to use other flour.
- Asukal ng niyog – This recipe uses coconut sugar as a sweetener. It’s a low-GI unrefined sugar with nutritious properties, but it also adds a lovely nutty caramel flavor to the banana bread. Plus, this recipe uses 3 times less added sugar than a regular banana bread recipe to keep the recipe healthy and good for you.
- Banayad na Langis ng Oliba – Any vegetable oil works in this recipe, like melted coconut oil or melted vegan butter too, but olive oil is low in saturated fat and better for you, so it’s my favorite choice to make banana bread.
- Paghurno Powder at Baking soda – To give them the perfect fluffy texture.
- Ground Cinnamon – para sa lasa.
- Vanilla Extract – para sa lasa.
- Tinadtad na mani – You can use walnuts, pecans, or a combination of both. I recommend finely chopping the nuts before adding them to the bread. You can also roast the nuts for extra flavors.
Below are some ingredients substitutions ideas for you if needed.
- Gluten-Free – You should have great results using a gluten-free flour blend containing added gum
- Walang asukal – Skip the sweetener!
- Libre ang langis – I don’t recommend skipping oil because the texture comes out very dense and gummy. However, if you really need to try unsweetened apple sauce or more mashed banana.
How To Make Vegan Banana Bread
There are plenty of ways to make egg-free banana bread that is vegan-friendly. This recipe is the easiest vegan banana bread recipe, with no need for flax eggs or fancy ingredients.
You can make it with oat flour, like in my vegan, gluten-free banana bread recipe, use harina ng sisiw or simply use the most basic pantry ingredients below. The success of any banana bread recipe is the amount of banana added! If you measure the mashed bananas roughly, you are sure to have too moist or too dry banana bread.
- First, mash the bananas very well until smooth and runny – removing the lumps creates a super moist banana bread crumb!
- Then, use measuring cups to measure exactly the amount you need in the recipe.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Set it aside.
- Now, stir in oil, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and salt with the mashed bananas. When well combined, stir in the dry ingredients until you get a smooth, consistent thick banana bread batter.
- Fold the 1/2 cup of chopped nuts at the end or some extra chocolate chips, if desired. This is totally optional and up to your taste.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set aside.
- Bake the banana bread in the center rack of the oven for about 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- To prevent the top of the banana bread from darkening too fast, tent the pan with a piece of foil after 30-40 minutes of baking.
- Remove the loaf pan from the oven, and using the hanging piece of parchment paper, pull out the banana bread from the pan.
- Cool down on a cooling rack for about 2 hours or until the banana bread reaches room temperature.
Mga Tagubilin sa Pag-iimbak
Slice the banana bread just before serving. This keeps the remaining banana bread ultra-moist. You can store banana bread in the fridge for up to 5 days. I recommend storing the bread in a sealed box or on a plate covered with a towel to keep it fresh and moist. You can pop the banana bread whole or sliced, in the freezer, using plastic wrap to seal it from air. Then, thaw it at room temperature the day before.
Serving
This egg-free, dairy-free banana bread is absolutely delicious on its own as a healthy vegan breakfast or afternoon snack with hot chocolate or coffee. But you can also top up your slice with delicious plant-based protein like:
- Peanut butter
- Almond butter
- Mantikilya
- Mantikilya ng sunflower seed
- Hemp butter
- Pinch of hemp seeds
- Jam para sa sanggol

Mayroon akong hilig sa vegan recipes using ripe bananas, but especially for banana bread. Below are my most popular plant-based banana bread recipes for you to try. All are low-sugar and healthy.
I’ve been stalking this page for weeks. lol. I finally took the plunge and made the banana bread. It was delicious! I will be making more of your recipes at least once a week. Thank you for this page.
Thats so amazing thank YOU !
love making this for my daughter with egg allergy. It tastes great!
I’m eager to try this but have no loaf pan. Can I make it as muffins instead and just adjust the cooking time?
Yes usually bread recipe can be baked as muffins for less longer – I would say test the baking process after 25 minutes inserting a pick in the center of the muffins. If it’s stick to the pick keep baking and check every 5-10 minutes until cooked through. Enjoy!
Recipe looks amazing! Any suggestions if I want to avoid any type of sweetners added with the exception of added purees (like applesauce or pumpkin)? Thanks!
Simply skip the sweetener, the bread comes out well without! The taste won’t be as sweet but it won’t impact the texture too much. Or replace the coconut sugar by 1/4 cup of apple puree! Enjoy!
Thank you I was thinking of adding my home made apple sauce.
HEY MISS C…I can hardly wait to try this Banana Bread recipe…but I would like to know what kind of sauce you have poured on the slice of Banana Bread in the photo…I couldn’t find anything about the sauce…Kindest Regards…Jim
