Banana bread is a beloved treat enjoyed by many, but traditional recipes often rely on eggs. This egg-free banana bread offers a delicious alternative that is perfect for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. Topped with crunchy nuts, it combines sweetness and texture in every bite.
Ingredients Needed
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted oil, sugar, and vanilla, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in half of the chopped nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining nuts evenly on top for a crunchy topping.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy Your Delicious Banana Bread
