What bananas are best for vegan banana bread?

The riper, the better! Use bananas that are heavily speckled or mostly brown for the best sweetness, moisture, and banana flavor.

Can I make this banana bread without almond flour?

Yes. You can replace the almond flour with an equal amount of all-purpose flour, although the texture may be slightly less moist and rich.

Can I reduce the sugar?

You can, especially if your bananas are very ripe. Keep in mind that reducing the sugar will slightly change the sweetness and texture.

Why is my banana bread dense?

A dense loaf can result from using too much flour or overmixing the batter. Measure your flour carefully and mix just until the ingredients are combined.

How do I know when banana bread is done?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and lightly grease and line an 8 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Mash: In a large bowl, mash bananas thoroughly with a fork. The bananas should resemble wet mush with a few remaining chunks when you are finished. Add brown sugar, maple syrup, nondairy yogurt, vegan butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until well-combined.
Mix: Add baking soda, cinnamon and salt to the banana mixture and stir in with fork. Add almond flour and all purpose flour to the bowl and stir until you no longer see any dry ingredients. Do not over-mix.
Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and even out with a rubber spatula. Bake banana bread in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes prior to slicing.

Notes

*Banana bread will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or can be frozen for up to 1 month.

*Don't be tempted to take your banana bread out of the oven early! While the top of the loaf may be golden after as little as 30 minutes there is still a lot of baking left to be done. Leave in the oven for at least 1 hour.
