Eggless Banana Bread

Mrs Joshi's Note:

My family's favorite banana bread. We never have eggs around, so this recipe makes it easy to enjoy this tasty treat just about any time.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup sugar
• 3 large ripe bananas
• ½ cup applesauce
• 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine , melted
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the first five (dry) ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas well.
4. Stir the butter or margarine, vanilla extract and applesauce into the bananas.
5. Add the banana mixture into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
6. Mix gently by hand, just enough to form a thick, clumpy batter. If the mixture seems too dry, add more mashed banana or applesauce to adjust the consistency.
7. Fold in chocolate chips and/or walnuts, if using.
8. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the bread is a deep golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

What a fantastic recipe! My son has severe food allergies to eggs & dairy, but loves cooking and eating ;). It's not always easy to find recipes that are dairy/egg free that everyone will like, but when I saw all of the positive reviews I had to try this recipe. We will be making this again and again I'm sure. Thank you so much!!

This is, hands-down, my favorite banana bread recipe that I have found thus far. I have shared it with everyone at work and I have made it probably at least once a month for the past 6 months or so. I came across it when I had some ripe bananas and no eggs, so I searched for an eggless banana bread and found this one. It is SUPER moist, has great flavor, and I use dark chocolate chunks instead of chips. Seriously, the best!!

Great moist egg-free recipe, although I thought it was way too buttery tasting. Next time I make I will cut butter in half or use milk instead of the butter. I didn't add chocolate chips or nuts but I will try with mini-chips sometime. A BIG PLUS is you don't have to use a mixer! I LOVE that everything mixed by hand.
