This Vegan Banana Bread is so soft and tender. It gets its moist texture from two overripe bananas and vegan butter and flaxseed are used to keep it vegan.
I love how simple this recipe is because it can be made relatively quickly in one bowl. Once you whip it up, you'll bake it for close to 50 minutes.

A FEW NOTES BEFORE WE GET STARTED
- Measuring Your Ingredients: I strongly encourage that you use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients and ensure that you have the most accurate measurements possible.
- However, if you don’t have a scale on hand and will be using cup measurements, make sure to use the “spoon and sweep” method when measuring to avoid packing in too much of any dry ingredient.
- Oven Temperature: Make sure to preheat your oven for at least 15 minutes before you start baking.
- I recommend purchasing an oven thermometer to get to know your oven so you can adjust your baking temperatures accordingly. Some ovens run slightly warmer or colder so its important to know yours to make sure your baked goods come out right.
Preheat your oven to 350º F. In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar and melted vegan butter until light and fluffy.
In a small bowl mix together the flaxseed and water and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Add the flaxseed mixture to the larger bowl and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. In a small bowl, smash down the bananas until smooth.
Add the smashed banana, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and continue to mix on low just until combined.
Prep a 1 lb loaf pan by coating it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment that slightly overhangs on each side. Bake the loaf for 50-53 minutes until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool for 15 minutes on a cooling rack before gently running a knife along the edges and carefully using the overhanging parchment to lift the cake out of the pan. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely before cutting. Enjoy!
