This one bowl vegan banana bread recipe is perfection. It’s super moist and has a light, fluffy texture. It has just the right amount of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice) that really highlights the banana flavour and doesn’t over power the banana. It’s not too sweet. The toasty walnut and cinnamon sugar topping give it the perfect crunchy bite and added sweetness. It’s vegan and can be made in just one bowl. So if you have spotty bananas laying around the house, then this is the perfect way to use them up.

Hello chef Atulya,
I followed your recipe this weekend to bake some bread for my vegan daughter. Obviously parents needed to try a piece of this bread. It was so delicious.
Thanks a lot for sharing your recipe :))
Hi Sandra! SO happy to hear that you loved this recipe. It’s so sweet of you to bake this for your vegan daughter! 🙂
I made the banana bread this morning with my daughters and it was so moist and very good! The cinnamon-sugar walnut topping was a nice touch. With a family of 4, this probably won’t last past today since the bread is short in height. I might double the recipe and make two loaves next time. The only change I made was using coconut palm sugar in place of the cane sugar and brown sugar. Thank you for sharing. It was delicious!
Wow! I’m so happy to hear that you and your family loved this banana bread recipe. 🙂

Hi,
This was very good, but it didn’t rise as expected. What did I do wrong?
Hi! Hm, let’s see where things could have gone wrong… Did you use baking powder, baking soda, and vinegar as the recipe calls for? Did you preheat the oven? Did you keep the oven door closed throughout the baking time?
Hello i made this recipe and wow!!! Love it!!! Thanks chef!
YW! Happy to hear that you loved the recipe! 🙂
