Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread

Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread

If you follow Manu’s Menu more or less regularly, you may know that I have recently found out that I am lactose intolerant. Don’t worry, I will still be publishing “normal” recipes, but I will also start experimenting with dairy-free (or lactose-free) recipes. This Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread is one of the first attempts at such recipes. I have made it many times already and every time, it is always a success! What I love the most, besides its delicious taste, is the fact that just one slice at breakfast, keeps me going till lunchtime! So, I end up eating less – no snacking required! This bread is dairy-free, vegan, and low-fat! Try it and let me know how you like it.

On a completely different note, I am thrilled to introduce you to Manu’s Menu Discussion Group on Facebook! This group does NOT substitute our Facebook Page, it simply gives us an EXTRA way to stay in touch and communicate. With Facebook introducing more restrictive rules on what shows up in your feed, joining the group will ensure better interactions with me and other fans and that you keep seeing our content. It is a place for all fans of Manu’s Menu to discuss the blog and Italian cooking in general! You are welcome to post suggestions for future posts, cooking tips, questions… anything. Have you made one of our recipes and you’d like to share a photo of it? Our Facebook Group is the right place! To join Manu’s Menu Discussion Group on Facebook click here.

    Hello! This looks delish, I can’t wait to try! I’m wondering, about how many cups of mashed banana did your 4-5 bananas yield?

    Thank you!

      Hi Terry
      I haven’t tried it, but I think it should work. 🙂

    Step 2 calls for salt yet salt is not mentioned in the ingredients, is it needed?

      Oh! Thank you for letting me know! I don’t always put salt (it’s just a pinch), so I forgot to add it in the ingredient list. Sorry!! I have fixed the recipe now. You can use it if you like, but it does not change the taste that much. Cheers, Manu

    Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe I tried it for the first time and it turned out really really good – especially as I’m a non-baker !

    I actually did them as muffins. This was such a quick and easy recipe – have already got requests for baking some for family !!

    Is baking time 30 minutes, 40 minutes or 45 minutes, and what teperature? Is temerature correct? 175 deg C seem not to be hot enough.
    I baked the cake according to the recipe and unfrotunatley it turned out flat as a slab of brownies – not really a loaf of bread. The bread is however very delicious without salt, relatively soft but heavy and “wet”. What am I doing wrong?

      Hi Tomasz! Sorry about the typo in the recipe and THANK YOU so much for letting me know. I fixed it. The cooking time is 40 minutes. However, always insert a toothpick into the loaf to make sure it is cooked through as different ovens do work differently.
      I am not sure why your loaf turned out flat! Undercooking it would not do that… The temperature is 175C. Have you sieved the flour with both the baking powder and baking soda? By doing that, it shouldn’t have a problem to rise.
      Is the size of the pan about right?
