Ingredients
To make this banana bread all you need are the following ingredients:
- bananas (the riper the better)
- maple syrup
- coconut oil (or olive oil)
- plant based milk (the one you prefer)
- apple vinegar (lemon juice works fine too)
- rolled oats
- whole-wheat flour (all purpose flour works too)
- black sesame seeds (optional)
- cashew nuts (optional)
- baking soda
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- chocolate chips (optional)
How to replace ingredients
In case you need/want to substitute any ingredient here you have a list that explains exactly what you can substitute and how to do it:
- Maple syrup: in case your banana bread does not need to be sugarfree you can of course use sugar. Otherwise you can use agave nectar, apple puree (skip the milk in this case), coconut sugar or molasses (these two will slightly change the flavour of the bread though).
- Nuts/seeds: you can simply skip them in case you have an allergy or don't like them.
- Whole wheat flour: in case you want your bread to be gluten-free, you can use a store bought gluten-free alternative. Otherwise you can blend gluten-free oats until powdered and use it to replace flour. The cake won't the as fluffy and soft but it will still be delicious.
Gluten-free option
If you want this banana bread to be gluten-free you have to replace the flour.
To do this you can either use a gluten-free flour substitute or you can blend the same amount of gluten-free oats until powdered and use it to replace flour. The cake won't the as fluffy but it will still be delicious.
How to serve
This banana bread can be served for breakfast with some vegan butter and jam or as a healthy snack with a hot cup of coffee.
I like to reheat it slightly in the oven/air fryer and then serve it straight away. This step makes it even more delicious yet it's totally optional.
How to store
You can store this vegan banana bread either in the fridge or in the freezer (depending on how long you want to keep it).
- Refrigerator: place the Banana Bread in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: wrap the cake either whole or in portions in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. This will prevent the cake from absorbing flavors from other foods in the freezer. You can store the cake in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw completely before serving.

For the cashews, does "crushed" mean "chopped"? Or does it mean "ground"?
carlocao says
I mean a little crushed, slightly chopped.

What is a good substitute for coconut oil in this recipe? Thanks!
Sarahneeya Chakkaphak says
Hi. Is apple vinegar the same thing as apple cider vinegar?
And, can I use soy milk or almond milk for the "plant based milk"?
Thank you
carlocao says
Hi, yes it‘s apple cider vinegar and yes you can use soy or almond milk 🙂 let me know how the banana brrad turns out!
Sarahneeya Chakkaphak says
Actually, the result completely exceeded my expectations about the recipe and about vegan baking entirely! It's my first time baking vegan. I'm not vegan. I had a bias that vegan baked goods can ever taste good or retain any ounce of moisture. I do have questions though:
1. What is the function of the apple cider vinegar?
2. What is the rationale behind the 2 different degrees of oven heat?
Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

180 degrees? Fahrenheit? That's not a lot
carlocao says
180 Celsius = 350F I hope it helps.
Fatima says
Oof I’m over here putting it in at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, wondering why it looks the way it does 🤧
carlocao says
Good morning! It’s 180 degrees Celsius not Fahrenheit ❤️
