The classic banana pudding recipe is not vegan as banana custard contains eggs, milk, and butter, and if served in layers, the biscuit also contains milk and eggs and since I love puddings like my Avocado Banana Pudding or Healthy Banana Chia Pudding. But, it’s super easy to make a delicious Banana Pudding vegan-friendly. Keep reading below!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Surprisingly, all you need to make a quick and easy Vegan Banana Pudding recipe are 4 ingredients.

Non-Dairy Milk – I like to use soy milk fortified with calcium. Soy milk is also higher in fat than almond milk, making the pudding much creamier. You can also use coconut milk or almond milk. Corn Starch or Corn Flour – I also tested the recipe with ground chia seeds and tapioca flour. These options don’t come out great. Tapioca flour is probably the best swap for corn flour if you have a corn allergy, but still, the pudding splits and doesn’t come together as with corn starch. Liquid Sweetener of Choice – Maple syrup, agave syrup, or banana Stevia drops. This is the best way to add a natural banana flavor to your pudding and sweetness without added white sugar. Of course, you can also swap stevia drops for 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup or any liquid sweetener you love and use a natural banana extract as a flavor. Natural Banana Extract – Use only if you didn’t use banana stevia drops.
