Ever since Annabelle and Ailey saw a “Daniel Tiger” episode where they bake banana bread, they’ve been begging me to make some for the family. I’m not the best baker since I don’t like following recipes, but I decided to spend Columbus Day cooking with the girls. I’m so excited to share an easy dairy free banana bread recipe that’s moist and delicious!
Dairy Free Banana Bread
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place butter in a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave until melted (30 second).
- In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add melted butter.
- Add vanilla and egg. Mash mixture until there are no yellow streaks from the eggs to be seen.
- In a second bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until smooth. There might be a few banana chunks, but that's ok! Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the bread.
- Allow Banana Bread to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
The best dairy free banana bread starts with overripe bananas. Whenever my bananas start to turn brown I put them in the fridge to avoid a fruit fly party on our counter.
This dairy free recipe calls for a buttery substitute, Earth Balance baking sticks, which can be found at most grocery stores. If you don’t mind dairy you can use regular butter though. I try to use a minimal amount of dairy whenever I can because Ailey and I are dairy sensitive.
After the bread cools I like to add a dollop of buttery substitute, drizzle of honey, or scoop of peanut butter. Some people prefer their banana bread plain, but I like to jazz up my slice a little bit. Another great way to enjoy a slice is paired with a warm cup of tea or coffee! This Dairy Free Banana Bread is so tasty and perfect to eat any time of the day.
