I have tried many banana bread recipes on VegWeb and have yet to taste one as good as my moms. So I got her recipe to share and here it is!
She is the BEST COOK in the world! She can make anything taste good!
Serves: 1 Loaf
This sounds great! I'd love to try this. Let you know how it goes.

I made this yesterday, and it was very tasty. Since I'm eating the loaf by myself, I froze half once it had cooled and been sliced... but something tells me I'm going to be digging in the freezer for it within a day or two. Next time I'll make sure I have pecans or walnut on hand to add to it. Thanks!

This is great! I made mini-loafs. It is very tender, soft, and light. I look forward to making this again!

This is the best banana bread of all time. No word of a lie, not even exaggerating. Way fluffier and lighter than any vegan baking recipe that I've ever tried. I added some fresh ginger and toasted coconut. Thank you so much!

Fantastic. I omitted the sweetener and used lite vanilla silk instead of water. Also used 4 T flaxmeal and no cornmeal. Oil replaced with applesauce. All in all really yummy. I guess mine was more of a health food version =)

I followed this recipe to the t. The bread was more like a semi-sweet cake. It was moist and well risen with good texture. It tasted wholesome & delicious. It may be a healthy sweet treat for kids I think.

Can I just use sugar instead of cane juice crystal or sucanat? I have never even heard of these things before, but I've got plenty of sugar & brown sugar in the house already...

This was really, really good. The substitutions I made: I used regular flour instead of whole wheat, I used 4 Tbsp flax instead of 2 flax & 2 cornmeal, I used Nucoa margarine instead of the oil, instead of the cane juice crystal I used 1/4 C white sugar & 1/4 C brown sugar, I used two mashed banans instead of the 1 C (which was about 1 banana), and I used soymilk instead of water. I also added about 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I made it with walnuts, and it was awesome! This is the recipe I'm gonna use from now on.

Been using this recipe for banana cake every time and its almost foolproof. Yesterday I used 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup semolina instead of 1 1/2 cup flour and it was great. I always seem to need more than than 1 cup of liquid to get a cake batter-like consistency though.
