Mom's Banana Bread Made Vegan

[MissyJane]

I made two loaves of banana bread from two different vegweb recipes, and this one came out way better than the other. It was so moist and yummy. The only thing I'd say is that 45 min. baking time was waaay too short. Mine took over an hour. (Maybe it's just my oven though.)

A note about the time....missyjane is right.  I had assumed it took longer because of my college oven and the high altitude.  It does take about 55 minutes in actuality though.  Also, feel free to add walnuts or vegan chocolate chips to mix it up!

(WARNING: TOOO GOOD , YOU MAY EAT IT ALL IN ONE DAY, AND IN ONE SITTING)
I omitted the vanilla though and I used non trans fat vegetable oil instead of butter and I also used flax seed for the eggs. I also doubled the recipe for two loaves (I used 6 bananas) and this was insanley delicious. I want to work with this recipe more,try less sugar & oil, maybe pastry wheat flour and try to make it healthier so I can eat it more often! Thank you for the fantastik yummy recipe!

mypiglikestofu, i use a very simliar recipe when i make banana bread but do always use whole wheat flour, haven't ever put vanilla in, don't usually bother with the salt, and i only use about 1/2 a cup of sugar.  because the bananas are so ripe, they make it very sweet so i find that less sugar is needed.  my banana loafs usually turn out very dense because of the flour, but still really yummy.

Hey shortie, I used to think that too, it actually has something to do with CO2 aeration.  Fix it by reducing the amount of sugar and eliminating baking soda.

Something so easy and De-lish !  Will make again, just won't be able to keep my hands out of it.

This was a very moist, delicious banana bread.  I made a few changes:  I used raw coconut oil for the fat; I used 1/2 maple syrup instead of a cup ofsugar (that was plenty sweet since my bananas were really ripe), and I substituted 1/2 cup of the flour with wheat germ (because I was out of whole wheat flour.)  I used the flax seeds instead of the eggs; finally, I added some shredded coconut.  I took this loaf to a picnic and people were crazy about it (and amazed it was vegan.) I will definitely make this again!

I made this yesterday and it was a hit!    I used only 1/2 cup of sugar though since my bananas were so ripe.  Unfortunately, I only had 2 bananas but it still came out good.  I can hardly wait until I have three bananas that are as ripe.  I will have to make it again.  I used olive oil to grease the pan and that came out well.  I'll have to try the coconut oil sometime.

I add a banana for the egg substitute (along with 1/2 t. baking soda), and another banana as the butter substitute (however, I also add a tablespoon of oil, too). I cut the sugar down to 3/4 of a cup, and use 3/4 a cup of whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup of regular flour. Then I add about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Yum yum!

This was excellent banana bread.  Just like I remembered it growing up.

Seriously, I have made this recipe more than any other recipe I have EVER had! I printed it out and the paper its on is now SOOO dirty haha cause I have made it so many times! I have a big company dinner for my employees once a month and I always make this, EVERYONE loves it. I usually don't tell anyone untill after they eat it all that it is vegan and they never believe me. I pile in the walnuts and it always comes out so perfect! The only problem I ever had was when I ran out of egg replacer and I used ground flax instead. It was still good but it came out extremely "gooey" and it didnt rise or cook all the way. But other than that this is the perfect down home banana bread for any occasion! BRAVO to whoever created this recipe.

So Delicious!! Just like banana bread should be.  I used whole wheat flour (i think it was pastry flour) and added walnuts.

oh my goodness...this bread is waaay, way too good! it is the best banana ive ever tasted! (i should take a picture before its gone!)
the only things i did differently were: 1/3 cup canola oil for eb, 1/2 cup sugar, added 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup applesauce for the eggs.
this is simply perfect!

p.s my frozen bananas worked really well!

note: i cooked my loaf at 350 for a little over 1 hour.

This bread was soooooo good.  Banana bread was one of my favorite treats as a kid and I have been craving a good loaf for a while (YEARS).  This bread was moist and perfectly sweet.  Outstanding.  I ran out of my white sugar, so I did half a cup white and half a cup brown sugar plus a dash of cinnamon.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
