Let’s make an eggless banana bread with no refined sugar or refined flour. Perfect for a snack, breakfast or a sweet nibble.

There’s banana bread, and there’s BANANA bread !! For many people around the world, it’s breakfast.

For us at home it’s a sweet nibble, a dessert kind of kick that is mildly sweet, forgiving and uses up the banana on the counter top. I have made many versions of Banana bread already, but we are ALWAYS game for a newer version. Quick breads are much loved at home, and we always like a healthier treat, avoiding the excess sugar / fat as much as possible and going for natural substitutes.

Quick breads resembling cake is often the most baked sweet treat at home. Be it Chai Spiced Banana Bread , Zucchini Double Chocolate Bread (on so yumm!!) or any other avatar of the Banana Bread with Cranberries or no Knead Wholewheat Banana Bread, it is always a sellout success at home, catering to the snack bites post school or at school. 

Or a dessert post dessert or for midnight cravings!

Did you know homemade Applesauce or bananas or homemade pureed Pumpkin  could replace eggs and fat too ? Did you know Zucchini could be hidden inside a chocolate cake ?

Tips for a great Banana Bread:

  1. Oven Baking times may vary. See what works for you, till a skewer / toothpick comes out clean
  2. If you are omitting any / adding any ingredient from the above list, the baking time and output may vary. 
  3. Once the wet and dry ingredients are mixed, gently fold. Overmixing may result in the bread turning hard
  4. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  5. If using Maida / All purpose flour in place of wholewheat flour, the liquid needed might be slightly lesser.  
  6. If the bread is browning too fast, tent the baking pan with aluminium foil quickly 
  7. I used a 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 pan. If you use any other pan, the bake time would vary slightly. Keep an eye on the rising bread.
