Ingredients You'll Need:
This recipe uses simple, readily available ingredients. Make sure you have these on hand before you start!
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed: The riper, the better! Overripe bananas will provide the most sweetness and moisture.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil: This adds moisture and richness to the bread.
- 1 cup granulated sugar: You can adjust this depending on the sweetness of your bananas.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor profile.
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour: Provides structure to the loaf.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: The leavening agent for a light and fluffy texture.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Balances the sweetness.
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind): Adds extra moisture and helps bind the ingredients.
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins: Customize your banana bread to your liking!
Instructions for Baking Your Eggless Delight:
Follow these simple steps for a perfectly baked eggless banana bread:
Step 1: Prep the Bananas and Wet Ingredients
Mash the bananas thoroughly in a large bowl. Add the oil, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix well until everything is combined smoothly.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent.
Step 3: Gently Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in a tough loaf.
Step 4: Add Mix-Ins (Optional)
If using any mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy!
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade eggless banana bread!
Tips for the Perfect Eggless Banana Bread:
- Use very ripe bananas: The riper, the sweeter and moister your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing develops gluten, resulting in a tough loaf.
- Check for doneness: Use a wooden skewer to test if the bread is baked through.
- Let it cool completely: This allows the bread to set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
- Store properly: Store your banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
