Estimated reading time: 4 minutes During the lockdown of 2020, amid the pandemic, we all baked banana bread at home. It was one of the most loved and baked desserts during the period. Somehow, there was something comforting about the home-baked banana bread when everything shortly seemed uncertain. It is one of my favourite quick-bread recipes that I often make for the family. I LOVE Banana Bread because:

Moist Banana Bread Without Eggs

It is possible to make super moist and soft banana bread without eggs. I have baked it often, and the result is truly gratifying. Egg Substitutes: In any baking recipe eggs help to provide moisture and texture. In this eggless banana bread recipe, we have replaced eggs with yoghurt. The thick, creamy, plain Greek yoghurt or curd is best for replacing eggs. I usually follow the thumb rule of 1 Egg = ¼ Cup Yogurt. Vegan Version: This banana bread recipe can be made vegan-friendly by using dairy-free yoghurts such as soy, coconut milk, or almond milk yoghurt.

You can try hundreds of banana bread recipe variations to make it taste more delicious. A few of my favourite ones are:

Chocolate Banana Bread – with a lot of chocolate chunks and cocoa powder combined in the batter, this one is the most popular flavour. Coconut Banana Bread – Coconut and banana is a truly tropical flavour delight. Replace olive oil with virgin coconut oil and chocolate chips with desiccated toasted coconut flakes or chips. Banana Walnut Bread – The regular bread is packed with the nuttiness of roughly chopped walnuts in the batter and on the crust. Healthy Honey Banana Bread – To keep it healthy, replace sugar with honey or pure maple syrup. Also, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cream Cheese Banana Bread – It tastes like cheesecake with a savoury, soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. This version is unique and a hit among cheese lovers.

My Tried and True Tips

Overripe, sweet-tasting, slightly mushy banana is perfect for making the bread. Avoid using firm or unripe bananas for baking. Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature before starting the batter-making process, especially bananas and yoghurt. Do not overmix the batter. Once batter is combined, and no streaks of flour remain, STOP MIXING. It is a simple, no-fuss bread recipe for beginners. Hence, no complicated baking steps are involved. Grease the bread tin nicely with olive oil, and it would be great if you could line it neatly with parchment/baking paper. Later, this will help you to easily pull out the bread from the tin. Tap the baking tin gently once or twice on the kitchen counter after pouring the batter. This way, all the air trapped in the batter will be released. Always insert a toothpick and check for doneness before bringing it out of the oven. If the bread seems too moist or uncooked, bake for 10 – 15 minutes more. Allow the bread to cool in the tin for 10 – 15 minutes before inverting or pulling out. Next, cool it completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Storage Suggestion

If you plan to store banana bread, cover it with a plastic cling foil. Transfer it to an airtight container. Store the bread in the refrigerator for a week. Do not store banana bread in the refrigerator without covering it. The bread will become dry, stale, and flavourless.
