BANANA BREAD

If you are looking for deliciously moist Vegan Banana Bread which is also easy to make, then you should definitely try this recipe. This is made by adding ripe bananas, walnuts, cinnamon, and chocolate chips. These are so great for breakfast or snack, or if you are having craving for a sweet treat. You can make this in the oven or in the Instant Pot, both will taste absolutely great.

This is a perfect recipe to try if you have over-ripe bananas. Whenever I have over-ripe bananas, I don't have to decide what to do with those bananas. I simply make these amazing super-moist Vegan Banana Bread. I don't like eating sweets much, but this bread is one thing I crave a lot.

This is one recipe that you can experiment with any way you like. You can make it Gluten-Free, Vegan, Nut-Free, Oil-Free, Whole-Grain, etc. This bread can be easily made with the ingredients available in the pantry. Being Vegan, this Banana Bread doesn't require any extraordinary ingredients.

Sometimes when I don't want to check the bread continuously for even baking, then I prefer to make it in an Instant Pot. Making bread in the Instant pot is very easy. All you have to do is to make the batter, and pour the batter in the Bundt Pan or mini Loaf Pans and pressure cook it. And Banana Bread will be ready in 45- 60 minutes.

WHAT CAN BE USED IN PLACE OF EGGS IN BANANA BREAD?

It's a common understanding that cakes and bread require eggs to make them moist. But using some ingredients like Yogurt, Flax Eggs, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, etc., can still provide the texture.

Sometimes I use Yogurt while making the Banana Bread. But this time I have made the bread using Baking Soda & Baking powder.

CAN WE MAKE VEGAN BANANA BREAD - OIL-FREE?

Yes, you can make Banana Bread Oil-Free by adding some applesauce to it. Though adding applesauce makes the bread a little dry. So I recommend if you don't want to add butter then add oil to it.

INGREDIENTS TO USE

  • BANANA: For making the best Banana Bread, you need over-ripe bananas. As the sweetness of the over-ripe bananas makes the bread extra flavorful & aromatic.
  • FLOUR: I add All-Purpose Flour & Almond Flour when making Banana Bread. Or you can also add whole wheat flour for making Whole Wheat Banana Bread. Or if looking for a Gluten-Free option, you can also add Gluten-Free Flour Mix.
  • MILK: You can add any Vegan Milk: Oats Milk, Almond Milk, etc. If you are adding Yogurt, then reduce the milk as needed.
  • SUGAR: You can add regular Sugar, or Brown Sugar, or Maple Syrup, etc. I like adding brown sugar to my Banana Bread as it also helps in giving nice color to the bread.
  • BAKING SODA & BAKING POWDER: If you don't want to add Yogurt instead of eggs, you can also add Baking Soda & Baking Powder, they'll do the trick.
  • OIL/BUTTER: You can make Banana Bread oil-free too. But I like it better with some oil/butter. Instead of butter, you can add oil to the recipe. Many people also add applesauce too, but it makes Banana Bread a little dry in texture. 
  • FLAVORING: I like adding Cinnamon to the Banana Bread, you can also add Nutmeg. Any other flavoring like cardamoms or fennel powder also goes great.
  • ADD-INS: If you like, you can add Nuts like Walnuts, Pecan, Raisins, etc. or can also add Chocolate Chips in the bread. Or if you prefer, you can add both Nuts & Chocolate Chips, I like adding both to the Banana Bread.

HOW TO STORE BANANA BREAD?

You can store the banana bread for 2-3 days in an air-tight container at room temperature. But believe me, it will be finished before that.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD IN AN INSTANT POT

It is a bit unconventional to make bread or cake in Instant Pot. Instant Pot is basically a pressure cooker with multiple functionalities. Simply speaking, it is a multi-cooker. I was also skeptical and a bit scared when I first tried making the cake in an Instant Pot.

In fairness, the texture of Banana Bread in an Instant Pot is incredible. If you bake in an oven you'll crusty outer texture with a soft texture on the inside. When you make it in an Instant pot, you will not get that crusty texture, but the flavor & softness & color of the bread will be perfect.

I make Banana Bread quite often, either in Oven or in an Instant Pot. So if you're looking for an easy recipe and you have some spare over-ripe bananas, then do try the instant pot version of Banana Bread. And you won't be disappointed.

Notes

STORAGE:
You can store the banana bread for 4-5 days in an air-tight container at room temperature. 
FLAVORING:
I like adding Cinnamon to the Banana Bread, you can also add Nutmeg. Any other flavoring like cardamoms or fennel powder also goes great.
FLOUR:
I add All-Purpose Flour & Almond Flour when making Banana Bread. Or you can also add whole wheat flour for making Whole Wheat Banana Bread. Or if looking for a Gluten-Free option, you can also add Gluten-Free Flour Mix.
INSTANT POT COOKING
If using Bundt Pan, then Pressure Cook for 50 minutes,
If using Springform Pan, then Pressure Cook for 60 minutes,
If using Mini Loaf Pans, then Pressure Cook for 45 minutes)
Before pressure cooking in an Instant Pot, cover the pan with aluminium foil and make a sling. Covering the pan with alumium foil will avoid an extra water dripping on the pan because of the steam.
Hope you'll enjoy the Banana Bread as much as I do. If you do, Please leave a Feedback!
