Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – Vegan Cake Recipes

• All Purpose flour / Maida – 1 cup
• Baking powder – 1 tsp
• Baking soda – 1/4 tsp
• Over ripen banana – 2 nos ( I used Yelakki)
• Sugar – 1/4 cup ( add 1/3 cup for more sweetness)
• Cooking oil – 3 tbsp ( Use odourless oil)
• Lemon juice/Vinegar – 1 tsp
• Vanilla essence – 1 tsp

• In a wide bowl, take the ripe banana, mash well with a ladle or fork. You can mash it in a mixie too. Grease a baking pan/loaf pan with oil and sprinkle maida all over the pan.

• Take a bowl and sieve maida, baking powder, baking soda.Mix well and set aside.
  • To the mashed banana, add sugar, cooking oil, vanilla essence, lemon juice and mix well till sugar dissolves ( you can add powdered nutmeg or cinnamon for more flavor).

• To this, add the sieved maida mixture.Mix well. You will get a thick batter. Spoon in the batter to the greased baking pan.You can also sprinkle choco chips, chopped walnuts to the batter.

• Preheat oven in convection mode at 180c. Keep the loaf pan and bake the cake for 35-40 minutes. Keep an eye after 30 minutes.Top of the cake turns golden and if you insert a tooth pick,it should come clean. This is the indication for the doneness of cake.
• Once the cake is baked, remove and set aside for 5 minutes. Invert in a plate and remove it. Cake will fall off easily.

• Cut into slices and serve with hot tea/coffee !

Enjoy !

• Adjust the quantity of sugar after tasting the dough.
• Do not reduce baking powder & baking soda.
• Keep an eye after 30 minutes of baking because over baking makes the cake hard n chewy.
• Batter would be semi thick and spoonable but should not be hard and crumbly. If you feel the batter is too hard, add a tbsp of milk and bring it to semi solid consistency.
• For variations, you can add chopped walnuts, Chocolate chips or even tutti frutti.
