Eggless banana bread recipe video – Delicious, moist and soft eggless banana bread that is vegan too. I do not prefer eggless bakes since many of them do not yield the same texture as the ones with eggs. But each time I share a baking recipe with eggs, I do get lot of requests for eggless version too. Since the eggless ones need a a lot of trials and experimentation I do not get to share them often here.
I had tried many eggless banana bread recipes and finally loved this one from Madhu’s blog.
This recipe will yield you moist, delicious & healthy banana bread.

Namrata says
Hi, my beead turned out dense. Though recipe and loaf tin was same. Should i have addrd more water because of wheat sometimes is different and need more water. Or more banana? I used 2 banana.
swasthi says
Hi Namrata
Banana bread is usually denser than banana cake. If this is what you mean (slightly denser and not light), then it’s just fine. But if it is dense, hard and dry as well then yes it needs more water. You can also add more banana or a mix of both. I use 2 large bananas. The batter must be of pouring consistency. As you said it depends on the flour. More bran in the flour, then more water needs to be added. You may check the video to know. Keep trying a few more times to get it right. I usually take about 1 to 2 days to reply the comments. Sorry to keep you waiting. Hope this helps
Namrata says
Hi Swasthi,
Thanks for sharing vegan recipes.
My bread turned out to be dense.
Should i be adding more water?
Should the batter be pouring consistency?
And from inside it was nicely done but outside crust little hard.
Your suggestions please.

Abinaya Narasimhan says
Hi Swasthi if I need to halve the recipe what would be the pan size and oven temp?
swasthi says
Hi Abinaya
Yes you can use a 6 inch pan and bake for 25 to 30 mins. For fan forced oven 160 c works well. The baking time is just my guess, keep checking after 25 mins. Bake until the tester comes out clean.
ram says
i don’t hv jaggery powder . how can i use jaggery chunks ,do i hv to melt it or sth else??
can i use jaggery in every bread nd cake?
swasthi says
Hi Ram,
You can grate the jaggery and dissolve it with the liquid ingredients. Substituting jaggery for sugar may not always good results. It depends on the recipe.

How long does it stay ? Banana bread. Why to add lemon juice ?
swasthi says
Hi Komal
Lemon juice activates the soda and makes the bread light and soft. It keeps good for 8 days in the fridge and 2 to 3 days at room temperature.

Hello Swasthi. Can you share a recipe to make cakes without an oven, e.g in a pressure cooker?
swasthi says
Hi Ruchika
Yes I can share but I need sometime. Thanks
Shravani says
Sure. Thanks for the reply. If it is a lot of kneading I may give up too. But I would like to try atleast once. I will let you know if it came out well, once I make it

You can also try kneading in a food processor that too works good.
