A moist and tender egg-free banana bread made with ripe bananas, flaxseed meal, and plant-based yogurt. Perfect for those avoiding eggs or looking for a simple, delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100 grams) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
  • 5 tablespoons warm water
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) plant-based yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, ½ cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the flax egg by combining 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal with 5 tablespoons warm water. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  3. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth but slightly chunky.
  4. Add the prepared flax egg, unsweetened applesauce, plant-based yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It is done when the toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture. Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Room temperature applesauce and yogurt help create a smooth batter. Muffin tin baking time is 20-25 minutes at the same temperature.
