Tips & Tricks for The Best Vegan Banana Bread

Now that you’ve got your vegan banana bread, it’s time to get creative. You can serve it alongside some vegan yogurt or spread it with some homemade vegan Nutella and have a delicious snack. If you want to slightly change the recipe from time to time, you can add some extra ingredients and toppings. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the very best vegan banana bread:

• Bananas must be very ripe. Extra ripe bananas are best for making banana bread because they are softer and sweeter, which means you can add less brown sugar to the recipe.
• Do not overmix the batter. It is a common mistake to mix all ingredients thoroughly, which ends up leading to a very gummy banana bread that is far from the soft, moist, vegan banana bread you are looking for.
• Adapt the recipe to the ingredients you have at home. For example, if you don’t have vegan butter, you can use melted coconut oil or unsweetened applesauce.
• Add-ins and toppings are a game-changer. Try adding some cinnamon, raisins, blueberries, chocolate chips, or walnuts to make it slightly different every time. You will need to add the extra ingredients to the batter right before you transfer it to the loaf pan. If you want your vegan banana bread to look fancier, you can also top it with banana slices right before you place it in the oven.
