Oven

Prepare the tin
Heat the oven to 180 C and line a loaf tin.
Mash the banana
Mash the ripe banana in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
Mix the wet ingredients
For classic banana bread, whisk in eggs, milk and melted butter. For vegan banana bread, whisk in unsweetened plant drink and neutral oil.
Add the dry ingredients
Stir in the wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until just combined.
Bake
Scrape the batter into the tin and bake until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool before slicing.

Frequently asked questions

Does banana bread contain gluten?

Yes. Both current versions use wheat flour, so there is no gluten-free compatible version yet.

Which version should I choose if I avoid egg, lactose or milk protein?

Choose the vegan version. It removes egg and dairy but keeps the wheat-flour banana loaf structure.

What should I check on packaged ingredients?

Check labels on plant drink, baking powder and other packaged ingredients if avoiding specific allergens.

How should I store banana bread?

Cool it fully, then store slices in a covered container. Warm a slice gently before serving if you like.
