Eggless Banana Bread is a soft and moist vegan bread that is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of coffee or tea.
I bake banana bread often for so many reasons. It is one of the easiest and quickest bread that to prepare. It stores well in a air-tight container both outside as well as in a refrigerator. By choosing vegan ingredients you can transform this bread into a source of healthy carbs. Provides the best means to use over ripened fruits, specially bananas. On its own it can be served as a healthy and filling meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - and it can also double down as a dessert.
This bread is loved by both young and old in my family. Remember to save a slice of this bread for yourself as it will get over in no time. I have added almonds in the recipe as I love the crunchiness it provides to the bread. I get lot of requests from my readers to post eggless or vegan bread recipes. So, this post is for all those who have asked for an eggless and vegan version of the popular banana bread recipe. For non-vegan version you can substitute coconut milk with whole milk, and vegetable shortening with butter. Rest of the recipe remains the same.

Can I make cupcakes/muffins with same batter? Actually I tired your recipe. The taste was very nice, but when I slice the bread the crust was little hard and it came out in pieces. Don't know where it went wrong.

Hi, you can make muffins as well. I am not sure what might have gone wrong because I have tested this recipe several time and few of my readers have also had success with this recipe. I hope when you give it a try next time, it comes out as expected. Occasionally it might also depend upon size of the banana(I have used 3 large bananas), coconut milk or half and half cream used. Thank you for your comment.
