Vegan Banana Bread Recipe!

I've loved this recipe for quite some time, but I was never sure if I should share it or not since I don't even like banana bread but it's one of Kevin's favorite snacks (sometimes I think he lets banana's get over rip so I have to bake a loaf!) and one of my favorite things to bake. It's a super easy and quick recipe, you don't even need a mixer!
Vegan Banana Bread!
(based on the recipe from The Baking Bird)
3 very ripe bananas (nearly all brown)
1/4 cup cinnamon applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sucanat sugar
2 tablespoon molasses
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas really well. Add the applesauce, oil, sugar and molasses, then whisk briskly to incorporate. Sift in the two different flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. If you're using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them at this point. Transfer the batter to the bread pan, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on the top.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. When done a knife or toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
xoxo!

  4. Oh man this looks delish! I might have to switch up my own vegan recipe a bit and try this. Have you ever tried flax seed as an egg subsitute in yours? That's what I use when I don't have applesauce...insane how moist it turns out.

  10. I'm not a fan of bananas... well actually I'm allergic, lol, but it still looks nice. :) I would love to try vegan bread to see if it tastes any more different from the normal bread.

  11. I don't care for bananas, but my husband and daughter love them. He has admitted to letting them get over ripe and then asking for banana bread. I will have to try this recipe next time. Thanks! (And, we had those mugs when I was a kid and used to drink milk out of them. I might have to get some for my kids now!)

  12. This looks really tasty! <3 I don't consider myself a vegan but I really love vegan recipes and have incorporated them into my life more and more! I'm always amazed when they turn out to be super delish. Question: I don't have sucanat sugar...can I use regular white granulated sugar?

  16. Holy shiz, that look delish! I'll definitely have to make it!
    My dad makes the best banana bread.......but it's the most unhealthy thing ever. I'm talking about lots of butter and powdered sugar, haha. Paula Deen would definitely approve. *wink*

  21. For all of you who weren't able to come to my mission call opening. Here is what you missed....

  23. Oh, that looks SO DELICIOUS. Since the floods and cyclones Australia has had a serious banana shortage.

    Sounds stupid I know, but they're something like $14 a kilo. That's about $10 for two bananas. I miss bananas so much. I MISS BANANA BREAD.

    When they're back, I'll be making this for sure!
