Banana Bread Recipes | Yummly

Banana bread is a classic treat, but there is no one recipe for our favorite quick bread that is superior to all of them -- the ingredients and methods vary based on dietary preferences and restrictions and Yummly supports them all!

Healthy

"Healthy" means something different for everyone. When you look at healthy banana bread recipes, you might see some that call for whole wheat flour or a mix of wheat and all-purpose flour, others might substitute melted butter or vegetable oil with Gree…

yogurt or applesauce, but the banana flavor only comes from overripe bananas. Whatever "healthy" means to you, there's a recipe to suit you on Yummly.

Vegan

There's no need for milk or eggs if you want to make vegan banana bread, and you can certainly find what will be your new favorite banana bread without those ingredients. Large eggs can be replaced by mixing ripe bananas mixed with flaxseed meal to bind the bread canola oil can be used in place of unsalted butter for the wet ingredients. The dry ingredients (baking soda, baking powder, salt, etc.) are all naturally vegan, but you'll want to look for vegan white sugar or brown sugar to make it a truly vegan banana bread.

Gluten-Free

There are many different ways to make gluten-free banana bread. There are a lot of banana bread recipes on Yummly that use nut flours or coconut flour to make it bread, but there are recipes that call for coarsely ground walnuts to help give it shape and texture. In this case, you might not want to use pecans, but chocolate chips might be a good add-in! There are also store-bought gluten-free flours that some of the recipes call for. You might even find recipes that call for a combination of flours like oat flour, rice flour, and quinoa flour to get the job done. If you're worried about flavor, a teaspoon ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract do well to spice up gluten-free banana bread.

Almond Flour

You can find hundreds of recipes that call for almond flour instead of white flour -- some people might even call bread made with almond flour the best banana bread. It's mostly used in recipes for the paleo diet or keto, but they're easy enough for anyone to try!

Keto

Finding a keto recipe for banana bread is a bit easier to do than paleo because there are more keto-friendly flour options to choose from. Because it's a low-carb diet, you'll find recipes that combine regular flours with gluten-free flours, but there most don't have added sugar and they rely on a lot of protein to keep everything together. If you want to keep it small, you can even find a recipe for a banana muffin in a mug.

Coconut Flour

If you like piña coladas, banana bread made with coconut flour might just win you over. One of the things to note about coconut flour is that it's extremely absorbent, so you won't need as much as other flours. There are some gluten-free and paleo recipes that only call for coconut flour, but other easy recipes that mix it almond meal to create a gluten-free flour mixture, but both methods yield excellent breads that work well in both loaf pans and muffin tins.

Whatever kind of banana bread recipe you're looking for, you can find it here on Yummly -- the best banana bread recipe is just a click away!
