Yesterday I shared a failed bread making attempt. Today, I redeem myself.
Last weekend I discovered a bunch of bananas turning, and fast, on the counter. I grabbed my bread maker manual for a recipe. I had to make some serious adjustments to veganize it.
Banana Walnut Loaf
Keywords: bread maker bread vegan
Modified from an incredibly not-vegan recipe in my bread maker manual.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup + 1 T almond milk
- 1 T apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup Earth Balance
- Equivalent of 2 eggs, I used Ener-G Egg Replacer
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups mashed banana
- 1/2 t sea salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 3/4 t baking powder
- 1 t baking soda
- 2/3 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Add apple cider to almond milk, stir and let sit for a few minutes (this is my vegan version of “buttermilk”)
- Pour the “buttermilk” into the bread maker and add the remaining ingredients in the order listed.
- Choose the quick bread/cake cycle, medium loaf.
Don’t use a bread machine? I did a little googling and can suggest that you bake this in a loaf pan, at 350 F for 55 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). (However, since I didn’t make it this way, I can’t vouch for it!)
This vegan loaf is omnivore approved! Meaning, my omnivore husband pretty much ate the entire loaf over the long weekend. Food is activism!

Mmmm, can’t go wrong with banana bread =)
Great idea to make buttermilk with almond and cider! I have a couple of bananas on my counter begging to be mushed and used for bread.
This looks delicious! Wish I were there 🙂
Love banana bread. It’s great with a bit of Tofutti! I bet flax eggs would give this an awesome nutty taste.
I love banana nut bread – always the perfect treat!
Banana bread is a huge hit in my house too. Sometimes for an extra treat I like to put a little brown sugar and oats on top for a little crunch.
I wanted to say Thanks for mentioning Spencer’s. I signed up and I am hoping it will be a terrific resource.
Wow. This may just be the nicest banana bread I’ve seen! Wonderful work 🙂
Aw, thanks, Gena!
