Vegan Banana Bread (whole wheat)

My Mom's Vegan Banana Bread recipe is delicious, hearty, whole wheat, and full of nuts. It's perfect for weekend brunch with a cup of coffee.

If you've watched my Instastories, you know cooking with my mom is no walk in the park. She's a typical Punjabi mom because she knows EVERYTHING, she doesn't sugarcoat anything, and she still bosses me around. Getting my mom to measure anything is a challenge. I've literally begged her to measure her Whole Wheat Vegan Banana Bread, however she refuses to. Let's just say women of her generation (aka desi moms) don't measure anything, but rather everything is based on andaza (winging it). For this recipe, my mom used her mug and karchi (ladle) for all the measurements. Having said that, I wouldn't change a thing about my mom. ❤️

Once I returned to California, I successfully made my Mom's recipe, however the texture was more cake-like, and not bread-like. The second time I made Mom's Banana Bread, it was perfect. So I'm finally sharing her recipe, measured out and all which was no easy task, hence I hope I get some credit for this. ?

how to make vegan banana bread step by step?

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Begin by chopping the walnuts. Set aside.
3. Now prepare the egg substitute mix. Mix well.
4. In a medium-size bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon powder. Set aside.
5. In a large bowl, mix the oil, egg substitute, mashed ripe bananas, and sugar.

6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet in two batches. Mix, but DO NOT OVERMIX.
7. Now add the walnuts, and gently fold them into the batter.
8. Grease a loaf pan, I just used coconut oil. Pour batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 degrees. Oven temperatures may vary, so check the banana bread after 45 minutes.

9. Enjoy your banana bread. It's perfect with a cup of coffee, or tea. 🙂

Notes

* you can store the banana bread outside for a couple of days in a pyrex container, however it can last up to 1 week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze your banana bread in plastic wrap.

** toast the sliced banana bread and top with peanut or almond butter. This would also taste amazing with some coconut yogurt on top.
