4 Ingredient Banana Bread Vegan

I love making banana bread. Banana bread is this simple, healthy and tasty recipe that makes you feel like home. This 4-ingredient banana bread is a simpler version of the all-time favorite vegan banana bread, almost as easy as my 3-Ingredient Banana Bread.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to make this easy 4-Ingredient Banana Bread are:

Self-raising Flour – if you only have all-purpose flour at home, use the amount of flour called by the recipe and add 3 teaspoons of baking powder. Liquid Sweetener – we used coconut nectar or maple syrup, but any liquid sweetener works in this banana bread recipe. Don’t use crystal sweetener, or the bread will be too dry. Melted Coconut Oil or canola oil for fluffier banana bread. Mashed Bananas – preferably ripe, to increase the sweetness of the bread.

How To Make 4-Ingredient Banana Bread

Storage

You can store this healthy 4-Ingredient Banana Bread for up to 4 days in the fridge using an airtight cake box. It’s preferable to slice the bread just before serving to keep it moist. Another option is to freeze banana bread slices and thaw them on a wire rack or a plate the day before serving.

Serving Ideas

This 4-ingredient Banana Bread is delicious on its own, but of course, some spreads are always delicious to add to your slice of banana bread. The best spreads to pair with this banana bread are:

Jam – try my Baby Jam for a healthy twist. Peanut butter Almond Butter Caramel spread

Self-Raising Flour Substitute

If you don’t have self-raising flour at home, I listed below the basic ratio to replace the self-raising flour but flour and baking powder.

1 cup of self-raising flour equals 1 cup of all-purpose flour + 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

So for this recipe, replace the self-raising flour with 2 cups of flour. It can be white wholewheat flour, all-purpose, or spelt flour and 3 teaspoons of baking powder.

Allergy Swaps

This recipe is naturally:

Dairy-free Vegan Egg-free Nut-free

You can use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix like Bob Red Mill’s 1:1 flour mix for a gluten-free version. Your gluten-free flour must contain gum, or the recipe won’t work. Then, add 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. For sugar-free banana bread, replace the liquids sweetener with sugar-free maple syrup.
