    Apart From Oil, What Else Do I Need In My Dairy-Free Banana Bread

    This is all you need to make my 7-ingredients dairy-free banana bread.

    All-purpose flour: also know as plain flour, substitute with whole wheat flour

    Baking soda: Note this is not the same as baking powder.

    Vegetable oil: Substitute with light olive oil, coconut oil or any other flavourless oil of choice

    Light Brown sugar and caster sugar: I used a combination of both but you can use either of the two.

    Overripe mashed bananas: use those spotty bananas in your fruit basket, yes those ones, see picture below for reference.

    Vanilla extract

    Eggs at room temperature: I used free-range eggs

    Pinch of salt: this is optional but recommended.

    ingredients for banana bread.

    Prep and tip

    Start by measuring the flour correctly. If possible, avoid using measuring cups and use a kitchen scale instead. Remember measuring cup sizes varies slightly from country to country but scale measurement remains the same everywhere and anywhere. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt (if using) and set aside.

    Prep the rest of the ingredients and prepare the pan (9x5" loaf pan) by greasing it with oil or butter (dairy-free) and line with a parchment paper

    How To Make Dairy-Free Banana Bread With Oil

    Peel the bananas and add to a mixing bowl then mash with a fork, crack the eggs and add to the mashed banana followed by vegetable oil, sugar (light brown and caster sugar), vanilla essence, and whisk to combine.

    Using a spatula, fold in the AP flour, salt, and baking soda into the wet ingredients until combined. Do not over mix.

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven (middle shelf) for 40 to 50 minutes or until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

    Take it out of the oven, leave it to cool for a few minutes (about 10 minutes), remove it from the loaf pan and turn it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the banana bread and enjoy

    How To Store Banana Bread

    Here are the best ways to store your banana bread correctly and to keep them moist and fresh for days.

    In the refrigerator: banana bread will last up to 4 or 5 days in the fridge. Wrap in cling film (plastic wrap), foil, or an airtight container so it remains fresh and moist. This is my preferred way of storing it

    In the freezer: well, if you manage to get this bread in the freezer, I admire your willpower. Make sure the banana bread cools completely before storing it in the freezer to avoid condensation and slice it for convenience. Wrap tightly and individually in a cling film before placing it in a freezer bag. Store for up to 3 months.

    To defrost: do so at room temperature for a few hours or pop in the microwave for a few seconds or in the refrigerator overnight

    At room temperature: If you don’t want to store it in the fridge then you may keep it in an airtight container or cling film and place it in a cool place on a counter. It will keep well for up to 5 days.

    FAQs

    Q: Is Banana Bread Healthy?

    A: Yes. It can be, depending on the ingredients used. You can make some smart swaps to make your banana healthy and kinder to the waist. Swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. Use more bananas and less sugar. Alternatively, swap the sugar for maple syrup or honey. Make the banana bread nut-free or chocolate chips-free.

    Q: Can I make it without eggs?

    A: Absolutely, it is possible to make it without eggs, you may have to replace eggs with vinegar, milk, and baking powder. They will act as the binding and raising agents for the banana bread. I accidentally made eggless banana bread muffins and they were delicious, perfectly moist, and fluffy.
