How Can You Make Banana Bread Without Eggs?

Mashed bananas and applesauce are great egg substitutes in a banana bread. You won’t even notice the difference.

How Do You Make Banana Bread Moist?

What makes this banana bread unique compared to other recipes? It’s how moist it is. The secret to moist banana bread is to use more bananas. In this recipe, I use up to 4 large bananas or 2 cups worth. I recommend not adding more than 2 cups as you might end up with soggy bread.

We always have plenty ofbananasin our household, which tend to ripen faster than we can eat them. So this recipe is a wonderful way to use them.

How Can I Make Banana Bread Healthy?

Many of us are trying to be more health conscious these days. Eating banana bread for breakfast may not be the healthiest choice if the recipe contains too much oil, butter, or refined sugar. Some banana bread is considered unhealthy because of the higher saturated fats, cholesterol, and high sugar levels.

I have omitted the eggs and refined sugar in this recipe, already making it a better choice. However, if you would like to go a step further, you can do the following:

1. Omit the oil from the recipe and replace it with 1/3 cup applesauce, making this banana bread low in saturated fats and lower in calories.
2. Use half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour to add more fiber to the banana bread. I have made this for my family and have had excellent results.

How Do You Store Banana Bread?

Since this banana bread is without eggs, you can keep it on your kitchen counter at room temperature for up to 4 days. Just cover it in saran wrap to prevent it from drying. Banana bread also keeps well in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 days when stored in an air-tight container or freezer bag.

Can I Freeze Banana Bread?

Yes, it can be frozen in a freezer bag and last up to 5 to 6 months. Please remember to cool the banana bread entirely before freezing it for the best results. When ready to eat, thaw the banana bread overnight in the refrigerator, at room temperature, or in a microwave.

Can I Freeze Bananas?

If I am not ready to use my ripe bananas immediately, I always freeze them when they get too ripe. Peel the bananas and place them in a freezer bag. Bananas can keep well in the freezer for up to 6 months. When ready to use the frozen bananas for baking, thaw them beforehand.

Can I Omit the Nuts?

If you are not a nut fan or have an allergy, skip the banana nut bread and leave out the walnuts. What’s great about this recipe is how easily customizable it is. Feel free to experiment and make it your own by incorporating different add-ins such as chocolate chips, raisins, and cranberries.

Here are some other variations you can try:

• 1/2 cup of blueberries frozen or fresh with a tsp of lemon extract
