    With this recipe, you can have a loaf of delicious and flavorful banana bread without any eggs. This eggless banana bread doesn't use any fancy egg replacement either, so it stays simple, humble, and fabulous.

    Recipe: $1.73 | Per Serving: $0.17 | Servings: 10 slices

    two slices of banana bread on a plate with more on a wooden board.

    Banana bread is such a favorite of ours, and you can really tell when you look at the dozen plus banana bread recipes we have on this site! But this eggless banana loaf is great for convenience.

    If you've ever tried replacing eggs in a baked recipe, you'll know that applesauce or even ripe banana can be used. Banana bread already has one of the two, and with this recipe, you won't even need the other, unless you're trying to make my Vegan Banana Bread with Applesauce.

    This egg free banana bread is basically my One Bowl Banana Bread, but without any eggs. And IT WORKS! For another egg-free favorite, check out my Eggless Blueberry Muffins.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Perfect for when you have no eggs. Whether you ran out and forgot or simply don't want to run to the store, this no egg banana bread recipe is perfect for saving time and sanity. No emergency trips to the store are needed.
    2. Egg allergy friendly. Trying to remove eggs due to an allergy? This recipe is perfect for that! And the best part? No one will notice the difference. This recipe is my go-to favorite and no one has noticed the eggs are missing.
    3. It's easy to make. Just a bowl and a whisk are all you really need to get this recipe made and in the oven. Well, a bread pan would help too- unless you're making my Stovetop Banana Bread.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make eggless banana bread.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Mashed bananas- You'll want to use ripe bananas for this recipe. This means using yellow bananas without green on them, preferably with brown spots or that are mostly brown. The darker the bananas, the more natural sweetness, and flavor they have!

    If you still have bananas left, try this Pancake Mix Banana Bread or One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

    Vegetable oil- You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, melted coconut oil, or melted butter for this recipe. All of them work well to add fats to the bread to keep it nice and moist.

    Leavening agents- You will need baking powder and baking soda to help the bread puff up and bake nicely.

    Sugars- For the best flavor and caramelization, use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar in the batter.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Oils. Using canola or vegetable oil is the way I like to go, but you could also use softened/melted butter or coconut oil, depending on your preference.

    🥣 Recipe Add-Ins

    If desired, you can add in up to 1 cup of any of the following:

    • White chocolate chips
    • Semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • Chopped pecans or walnuts
    • Dried cranberries
    • Grated coconut

    You could also drizzle some cream cheese frosting over the top for a little "something extra."

    You can be as creative as you want here. We've combined oats and chocolate in our Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, put cereal in our Fruity Pebbles Banana Bread, and threw cookies and glaze over this Oreo Banana Bread. There's so much wiggle room for creativity in banana bread!

    🔪 Instructions for Eggless Banana Bread

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8x4 loaf pan. Set aside.

    Step 12: Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Banana Tip. Use ripe bananas for the best results. Look for bananas with brown spots—they're sweeter, easier to mash, and pack more banana flavor.
    2. Loaf Pan. While you can use a larger loaf pan (like 9x5), note that baking time will be shorter, and the loaf won't rise as high.
    3. Muffin Variation. Craving Eggless Banana Muffins? Scoop the batter into muffin pans, filling each about ⅔ full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Room temp. This bread can be kept stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. That said, this bread is best enjoyed when freshest, so we like eating it within 3 or 4 days.

    Freezer. Yes, this bread can be frozen. To do this, bake and cool as directed. Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil before placing into an airtight container or gallon sized Ziploc baggie. Freeze for up to 3 months, before thawing and eating.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda?

    No. Baking soda MUST be the leavening agent used in this recipe. While baking powder and baking soda are very similar, they are also very different. The reaction to the batter when using baking powder will not be as pleasant as if baking soda.

    How do I know when banana bread is done?

    You will know that your bread has finished cooking when you can insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf and have it come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs on it.

    Why is my banana bread tough?

    If you overmixed your bread batter you will have overworked the gluten in the flour which will result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Avoid this by only mixing until everything is combined.

    Does banana loaf contain eggs?

    Normally, yes. But this banana bread recipe is made without eggs, egg replacements, or dairy products, making it vegan-friendly and delicious.

    Can bananas be too overripe to use?

    While you probably shouldn't use bananas that are too far gone (rotting, mold-covered, and fermenting) there are still other ways that those bananas could be useful, like composting.

      It says to do a shorter baking time for a 5x9 pan. Is there a specific time instead of the 50-60 minutes?

        Start at 10minutes less bake time and check every 5 minutes until done.

        Fill muffin cups about ⅔ full and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350F until toothpick comes out clean. Makes about a dozen or so. Actual amount may vary based on how much banana is used.
