Eggless Banana Bread

I love banana bread in all shapes and forms. So, it’s not surprising that I’ve shared several banana bread recipes on the blog in the past. But you can never have enough of it, right? So here you go, the much requested for recipe- eggless banana bread! You’ll be happy to see that this recipe only calls for very simple and basic ingredients. It is also pretty easy to whip up and the result? Delicious!

Substituting eggs in banana bread

My readers love eggless recipes but I am particularly excited to share this eggless banana bread recipe because you don’t need any ‘substitutes’ like yogurt to make this. Eggs provide binding and moisture in a recipe. Mashed ripe bananas efficiently substitute eggs in various recipes, including this bread. Now usually when you replace egg in a recipe with mashed bananas, for example, in brownies, you’re able to taste bananas in the final product. Since bananas are already the hero of the recipe here, I worked around my favorite banana bread recipe and eliminated eggs by adding more mashed bananas and some milk. The batter comes together beautifully and the bread is just how you want it to be.

Tip to ripen raw Bananas

It is absolutely imperative that the bananas you use for the recipe are ripe. Raw bananas would not impart the desired flavour or moisture to the eggless banana bread. I like to put the bananas in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes before mashing them. This both softens and ripens the bananas, making them ready to use for this delicious eggless banana bread!

This eggless banana bread is flavorful. The texture is beautiful and the aroma makes it irresistible. I also fold in some crushed walnuts because I love the bite they lend to the bread. You can also use some pecans and raisins. That would be so good! I love this eggless banana bread as it is but if you like, you can also top it with cream cheese frosting. Recipe HERE.
