What are the best substitutes for eggs in vegan banana bread?

Flaxseed eggs, chia eggs, applesauce, or extra banana are all excellent choices for structure and moisture.

Can you make banana bread without eggs or dairy?

Yes—use plant milk, coconut oil, and egg substitutes. You’ll get the same soft, rich texture as traditional versions.

Use ripe bananas, healthy fats, and don’t overbake. Resting after baking helps retain moisture.

Try oat flour, almond flour, or gluten-free blends for texture and flavor.
