We’re going to chat about how to make vegan gluten free banana bread, how to store it, and why you’d even think about making this vegan gf banana bread. Are you game? Let’s bake this!
How to Make Vegan Gluten Free Banana Bread
Preheat
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mash & Whisk
Add peeled bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash until mostly smooth. Add the rest of the wet ingredients: coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk all the ingredients together until it’s well mixed.
Combine
Add all of the dry ingredients to the same bowl (1-bowl, woohoo!!): oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Now whisk it all together until no flour patches remain. Fold in chopped walnuts or your favorite add-in.
Pour
Pour your vegan gluten free banana bread batter into the loaf pan your prepared earlier. Smooth the batter out, then shape it to resemble a loaf—your loaf will bake up very much how it looks raw. For fun, grab a butter knife and cut a slit slightly off center down the loaf. Once done, give the knife a wiggle back and forth in the slit to widen it. Go ahead and sprinkle your vegan gf banana bread with walnuts or your favorite topping.
Bake, Cool and Enjoy
Bake for about 65 minutes, cool and enjoy the best vegan gluten free banana bread!

Amanda says, “Just made this and it’s so great! My 4 year old son loved it and ate two pieces! Thank you for creating such a great recipe. I’ll be making this again soon. I modified only by adding a little less than 1/4 cup maple syrup.”
Storing and Freezing Vegan GF Banana Bread
Store it at Room Temperature
You can absolutely store your vegan gf banana bread at room temperature—just make sure to keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources which could spoil it. Store vegan gf banana bread in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Some readers like it best on day 1, others on day 3. 😉

Just give it about 15-30 minutes to thaw at room temp before enjoying, or heat the banana bread in 10-second increments in the microwave until just warm.

Description
Vegan Gluten Free Banana Bread (GF): an amazing 1-bowl vegan gluten free banana bread recipe that yields perfectly moist banana bread bursting with banana flavor! Vegan, Gluten Free.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons mashed, ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- ¾ cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped or your favorite add-in (chocolate chips, chopped dried fruit, etc.)
Optional Topping
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped or favorite add-in
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- Peel bananas and add to a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter (recommended) or sturdy whisk, mash bananas until smooth. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer, with the shape of a rise down the center—just like a loaf. The loaf will bake up very similarly to how it looks raw—now is the time to shape it. Using a butter knife, cut a slit slightly off center down the loaf. Take the butter knife and go back into the slit, gently wiggling the knife back and forth to widen the slit/seam. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Lightly press walnuts into the top.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes. Mine took 65 minutes. Test for doneness by sticking a toothpick into the center of the loaf. The toothpick will come out clean when the loaf is done. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 2 hours. Lift out, slice and enjoy!

This recipe was so nice and easy, simple to follow, and very family/children friendly. I work at a cafe where we serve people with different dietary needs, and these sold out within the week! I made 2 batches. My only advice for people is to use more batter, as they don’t rise as much as a regular banana bread does, that is to be expected. Either that, or use a smaller pan so it looks fuller! Overall impressed and will use again.
★★★★★
Demeter, I have made this banana bread twice already and it is such a delicious recipe!!! It is moist and the crunchy walnut with every bite has added such a welcome contrast! People I have served it to can not believe it is gluten free and vegan. Thank you for taking healthy baking to such an excellent level!!
★★★★★
That’s amazing Freshteh! Isn’t it the best when you can surprise someone with a healthy baked treat? Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words with me!
My teens love this recipe! Definitely one of their favorites! So excited to make this again soon!
★★★★★
Wow that’s fantastic Beth! 😊 I’m so happy they’re enjoying it!
This banana bread is soo good! Love how easy it is too with one bowl.
★★★★★
Exactly! Less time cleaning up, more time eating banana bread!
This bread is so tender and moist, you’d never know it was vegan! My kids loved it!
★★★★★
Yay! Always happy when a recipe is a hit with the kiddos. 🙂
This banana bread looks so light and fluffy. Even better that it is vegan.
★★★★★
Thanks Dannii! 🙂
This tastes so good! I can’t believe it’s vegan! My vegan friends are going to love this at our next brunch! Love it!
★★★★★
Yay! Can’t wait to hear what they think!
Would love a slice or two of this yummy bread with my cup of tea! Looks so good!
★★★★★
Oh yes, it’s perfect with a hot beverage! 😋
Looks amazing! I love that I can make a healthy gf banana bread.
★★★★★
Yes you can! 😊 Happy baking Biana!
My husband said this was the “most normal” tasting gluten free baked good I’ve ever made. 😁 He said “It’s so good it doesn’t even need chocolate chips” which is a huge complement from him!! My only problem with it is that I can’t stop eating it!!! I followed the recipe exactly except for using a real egg instead of flax egg, and I baked it in an 8×8 pan so it would be done faster.
“Most normal”: LOL! Tell him that we’ve ALL been there. 🤣 And as a fellow chocolate lover, I’m appalled! J/K. I am blushing over here! It’s so wonderful to hear that you both enjoyed my recipe so much. Can’t wait to see what you two try next!
Thankyou so much Demeter for the lovely recipe. I added homemade almond meal from almond milk from scratch.It tastes very yummy & satisfying as I am vegan & GF ..loved it . Shall try some more recipes of yours .
★★★★★
You’re so welcome, Pinky! 🙂 Oooh, I love that you were able to use the almond meal you had left from making homemade almond milk (nice!!). I can’t wait to hear about what you try next. Hugs!
Hi 😊. I always make this bread and I love it.
But now my husband has sugar restrictions and I need to omit the maple syrup and use lakanto ) monk fruit with Erythritol in powder form ) I was thinking on adding full fat coconut milk in order to replace the liquid from the maple.
But I would like to know your opinion about it. Thanks 😊
I LOVE THIS RECIPE! It is my #1 favorite banana bread recipe.
I just wanted to ask you, can I substitute the coconut oil for apple sauce or for olive or avocado oil?
Thank you!
★★★★★
Hi Victoria! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the bread so much! 😊 As for the oil subs, I can’t say for sure since I haven’t tried them myself, but I have had a few readers use olive and avocado oil in some of my other recipes before. If you do try one of them out, let me know how it goes!
Can I substitute almond meal with almond flour?
Yes! You can use almond flour instead of almond meal. The texture will just be a bit fluffier and lighter. Enjoy! 🙂
Great recipe! Perfect consistency (hard to get with GF and Vegan) and not too sweet. Thank you!
★★★★★
Thanks so much, Ophelia! I know a good GF + V quick bread recipe can be hard to find. Glad you enjoyed mine! Can’t wait to see what you try next. 🙂
Can I use dates in stead of maple syrup?
Hi Ninon, that might be a bit tricky, since blended dates tend to be much thicker and drier than maple syrup. Maybe try date syrup?
I added nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon to this recipe and omitted the salt and maple syrup, because we ran out of the latter. It still turned out great! Super buttery (despite the lack of butter) and still pretty sweet! Delicious.
★★★★★
Haha so glad to hear it Ayna! .
This is the best GF vegan bread/cake I’ve ever made. It was sooo darned good. Veganizing a baking recipe often isn’t that difficult, but removing the flour is. This oat flour recipe was bang-on. Great consistency and just the right amount sweetness. The walnuts were the ‘icing on the cake’. Thanks — will definitely be making it again.
★★★★★
Whoop!!! .. I’m so happy that you enjoyed my recipe, Edana! 🙂 This vegan banana nut bread holds a special place in my heart, so I’m heartened that you feel the same way. 🙂 Happy baking!
Hello Demeter. I love you recipes and I try a few of them that results delicious. I tried your banana bread with chocolatr chips (veeeeeery yummy) and for this recipe that I’m looking forward to cook, I have the question about if I can use all-purpose flour (because my boyfriend doesn’t like oat, I love it jaja) with the same measures? It could affect the consistency? I hope your answer and thank you.
Fanny Rdz
★★★★★
Hi Fanny! Hmm… gluten free all purpose flour or regular all purpose would probably work— the same amount. 🙂 It might be a bit more moist, but I’m not 100% sure. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Hi I made this today it taste delicious but if look the same as your picture, I mean my don’t rise like your my stay very thin.
★★★★★
Hi Millie! Hm, it’s hard to diagnose from afar, but did you make any ingredient substitutions? Also, if you used homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground. Coarse oat flour will greatly affect the consistency. Hope this helps!
Well, once again The Beaming Baker has come up with a healthy recipe that tastes as good as my former ones! This banana nut bread tastes just like the ones I grew up with on a farm in the Midwest. Since I’m currently on a somewhat restricted diet, I’m so pleased we can obtain this level of tastiness with no eggs, gluten or white refined sugar. Thank you again, Demeter!
Jackie now from the Northern Rockies
★★★★★
Woohoo! I’m so happy to hear that this can stand toe to toe with those classic recipes Jackie! . Thank you for taking the time to try it, and for letting me know how it turned out!
Omg….all I can say is this is delicious. I could eat the whole loaf. Lol
Haha yay! Im thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed it Kasey! .
Oooo Chocolate chips sound wonderful. I will try that. Thank you 🙂
Thank you!! Hope you enjoy!
I love this bread! I make it almost weekly. Is there a way to sweeten this recipe up a bit?
Wonderful! 🙂 Try: 1) using super, super ripe bananas, 2) adding in 1 more tablespoon of maple syrup, or 3) adding in chocolate chips or dried fruit like raisins. 🙂
This is such a lovely bread. In fact, I have a loaf in the oven now, and will be making another loaf for my Daddy’s birthday! I make my own almond meal with the left over pulp from homemade almond milk (dehydrated in my oven), as well as my own oat flour.
Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!!
★★★★★
Thank you so much, Nichole! 🙂 Please wish your Dad a happy birthday for me. . Your homemade almond meal sounds amazing!
I’m excited to try this out! Can I used the pulp left from making almond milk? Or will that be too dry…? And does the oat flour have to be super fine because I’m thinking of grinding some rolled oats. 😀 Thaaaanks!
Hi Riz! What would you like to use the pulp for? To sub the almond meal? Yes, grind the oats to a fine flour—I know that some readers have issues when they only grind the oats to a coarse texture. 😉
Hello Demeter,
I was just wondering if you can use an egg instead of the flax egg?
and
what can I use instead of the oat flour? As I want to make them for my son and he can’t have oats atm.
Also
what are your thoughts about not putting the maple??
Thank you,
Maroula:)
Hi Maroula! Yes, you can substitute the flax eggs for regular eggs. As for a different flour, I’d recommend a 1:1 GF all purpose blend. I haven’t tried it with this recipe, but I’ve had other readers use it with good results.
As for the maple, you can swap it with another sweetener but I wouldn’t leave it out completely. Doing so will change the consistency. Let me know how the bread turns out!
Hey there
Can I use a real egg in place of a flax? And when should I add it? Amateur baker over here, thanks
This was amazing! I baked it in an 8×8 pan as my family has declared war on “loaf” breads…it baked in 45minutes in case anyone was wondering! I then made a thin glaze with powdered sugar, almond milk and vanilla extract…Fabulous!! thanks so much for this amazing recipe!
★★★★★
Hehe. We’ve had a few periods like that in our home (WAY too much quick bread testing lol). That glaze sounds sooo tasty! Thanks for reporting back. 🙂
Just found an earlier comment about coconut flour so no need to reply to my question. thank you
Can I substitute oat flour for coconut flour and what would be the conversion be please?
This is absolutely delicious!!! I added 1 cup of organic raisins, 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup organic maple syrup. Pure natural sweet goodness!! OMG me and my husband loved it!! Will make again. Keep up the great work.
★★★★★
Thanks Janet!! 🙂 The combo of raisin and nuts that you added sound incredible! So happy that you and your husband enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to let me know! .
Hi Aditi, so sorry to hear about this! I know this recipe is a big reader favorite, so I’m not sure what went wrong here. 🙁 Did you make any substitutions? Also, did you measure out the mashed banana–to equal 1 cup and 2 tablespoons?
Thanks Demeter! Used everything else as is except did frozen bananas and measured them.. wonder if that could have made a difference (water content?)? The batter wasn’t too liquidy and quite thick like banana bread style.. Lol, the biscotti is yum.. I’ll see when I get my hands on more oat flour n give it another shot maybe..
I really enjoyed this! I skipped the walnuts and used chocolate chips lol!
★★★★★
Oh YES!! Adding chocolate chips is always a plus in my book! Haha. Glad to hear you liked my recipe, Emaleigh. 🙂
This worked great- thanks so much!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed this, Kathy. 🙂
LOVED this recipe. I did have to make a few modifications due to some allergies, but it was AMAZING!!! This is the first time I’ve ever baked banana bread, but I’ve tried gluten free/vegan bakeries, and nothing has compared to how delicious this recipe is!! I ended up making this twice. Once as a bread and second time as muffins. Below are the modifications I made in case others have similar allergies:
Bread Substitutions:
Almond Flour- I used sunflower seed flour from Eat Seed (Amazon). I found this to be the best substitute for almond flour.
Flax Egg- I used The Neat Egg (made from chia seed and garbanzo bean)
Next time I will add about 1/8 a cup of maple syrup as I prefer a bit more sweetness. Mine was ready in about 55 min, so keep an eye on your oven.
After my son smelled the bread baking in the oven he asked if it was something he can have. I did not think about making it safe for him to eat as he does not like bananas. I had one ripe banana left, so I decided to try and make muffins out of it, by cutting the recipe in half. These came out AMAZINGLY delicious. Below are the substitutions I made.
Muffin Substitutions:
Almond Flour- I used sunflower seed flour from Eat Seed (Amazon). I found this to be the best substitute for almond flour.
Flax Egg- I used The Neat Egg (made from chia seed and garbanzo bean)
Walnuts- I used Enjoy Life chocolate chip cookies instead because he has a nut allergy. I think I used about 1/2 a cup, but I would have used a cup had I made the full recipe.
Coconut Oil- I used Kerry Gold butter because he has a coconut allergy.
I did add a bit more syrup to these! I got about 11 muffins out of them. I used silicone cupcake liners, and cooked about 25 min at 350 degrees. I can’t wait to make these again in a large batch for lunches! My kid who hates bananas LOVED them, they almost taste like a gooey chocolate chip cookie 🙂
Thanks for getting me so excited to bake!
★★★★★
Hi Isabel! First of all, THANK YOU so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful and thorough comment! I had such a ball reading through your substitutions (“kitchen adventures” as we’d call them at my house). You know, I’ve ALWAYS thought sunflower seed meal/flour would work!! I’ve been recommending that as a possible substitute to folks with nut allergies–and now I’m so happy to know that you love it so much. Thank you for leaving such detailed sub notes–I know many readers will appreciate them. It’s wonderful to hear that you and your son just loved these.
As for getting you excited to bake–it’s truly my pleasure. There’s little that makes me happier than encouraging others to get back into the kitchen and seeing what awesome creations can be made! 🙂
You are so welcome!!! I know I appreciate reading comments that people leave when they have to modify recipes. That’s how I found that sunflower seed flour is a great sub for almond flour. I actually went to order more yesterday and it was no longer available on Amazon, and their web address was not working ..♀️ I did see another brand that I will try.
I’m actually enjoying my banana bread as I’m writing this and it tastes better now days later (if that’s even possible, lol)!
Thanks again!!! This is for sure a keeper. I can’t wait to try more of your delicious creations 🙂
Sorry that was suppose to be 5 stars!
★★★★★
No worries! I just have to figure out how to fix it. Lol. 😉
The original recipie is amazing! I brought it over to a family dinner and no one knew it was vegan. Thank you very much. Def going in my recipe binder.
I just made a second batch with all oat flour as you recommended and some dark chocolate shavings. I will let you know how it turns out
★★
Fantastic! Isn’t it the BEST when no one knows it’s vegan? 😉 I can’t wait to hear how the second batch turns out… I’ve always wondered. Thanks for reporting back on the first batch! 🙂
Just made this and it’s so great! My 4 year old son loved it and ate two pieces! Thank you for creating such a great recipe. I’ll be making this again soon. I modified only by adding a little less than 1/4 cup maple syrup.
★★★★★
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled that your son enjoyed it! .
Going try this for a healthy snack after dinner tonight. I wanted to know if there was a nut free version for my son to take to school?
Hi Amanda, you might be able to sub the 3/4 cup almond meal with 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons oat flour. I haven’t tried this yet, but generally speaking, oat flour is more absorbent than almond meal. You might have to play around with this a bit to get just the right moistness and texture. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck! 🙂
Hi this looks great! Could I sub the oat flour with regular gluten free flour (don’t have oat flour on hand!)? And sub the almond meal with the same? Baking for a school Fete and I want to make it nut free too.
Thanks Lyn! Hmm… you might be able to sub the oat flour for all purpose gf flour, but I wouldn’t recommend subbing the almond meal with gf all purpose. Almond meal is a lot less absorbent that other flours. You could try subbing the almond meal with 1/2 cup all purpose–but I worry that this will dramatically change the texture of the loaf. Good luck! 🙂
Second time making this – love it! Bananas and walnuts are just the perfect combination. Thanks.
So happy to hear you enjoyed this, Maria! 🙂 Bananas and walnuts are just meant to be… 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. xo
Hi there! Your recipe looks amazing! I was just wondering if the recipe would still work if I didn’t add in the coconut oil and maple syrup. Are there any substitutes that you would recommend?
Hi Rowena, thank you! To substitute the coconut oil: you could try vegan butter. To sub maple syrup: brown rice syrup or honey if you’re not vegan. 🙂
Hi.. How about If I only have brown sugar ,? How much should I use instead of the maple … and can I use coconut milk to replace the liquid that the maple add to the bread ?
Hi Sonia! . Try dubbing the maple syrup with 1/4 cup brown sugar and perhaps 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk. I don’t recommend using coconut milk unless it’s the drinkable beverage (in a carton) versus the kind that’s canned & much thicker. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
I spend the same amount of time dithering over blog openings – we are sisters! Meantime, I am ALL IN for anything involving a banana, and this bread looks FAB. Perfect for weekend baking happiness!
Haha. Yeah, we are! 😉 The scent of this bread totally makes the weekend feel more weekend-y! 😉 Thanks Kate!
Yum – need I say anything more? It WAS perfect Banana Bread and loved he walnuts!- too bad it is all gone……
Yum just about covers it all! 😉 I’m so pleased that you enjoyed my recipe, Christine. Can you tell I’m beaming? 😉 Thank you for taking the time to let me know how it turned out. Happy baking!
This looks wonderful but banana bread isn’t a favorite of mine. Would you have something similar that is an apple or pumpkin version with the almond meal and nuts? If not would you consider making one or both? 🙂
Hi Jacquie, I have a pumpkin version that I think you’d love (made with almond meal): https://beamingbaker.com/one-bowl-gluten-free-vegan-pumpkin-bread-v-gf-df/ Enjoy! 🙂 P.S. I’ll start writing down some ideas for apple bread–which will probably be ready by Fall. Lol. Happy baking!
I should be expecting a package of this bread in the mail…. yes? Because closer than close besties! And Umm ‘naner nut bread happens to be one of my favorite things in the entire universe! And of course your version looks absolutely perfect and has me drooling like a rabid dog! Oh, speaking of dogs- how have I never seen the movie Up?!? Obviously I am going to Google that shhh as soon as I’m done commenting here! Mosltly because you recommended it, but also because your spirit self has a staring role. 🙂 Anyways, LOVE this bread and I toe-ts wish I was stuffing my face with slice after slice right now! Pinned of course! Love ya my sweets! Xoxoxo
★★★★★
Yes!!!! Lol. 😉 LOVE the transition to dogs! Bahahaha. How do you ALWAYS crack me up tho? . You have to watch Up. It’s so touching and absolutely amazing. Then, call me afterwards with a big box of tissues in hand. Come on over right now for a fresh loaf! Love ya! xoxoxo
I absolutely love this banana bread! It’s full of walnuts, and has a beautiful rise, I just want a slice or two right now 🙂 Pinning and sharing, of course! Have an awesome week, Demeter! xo
★★★★★
I’m so happy, Marsha! 🙂 Thank you for pinning and sharing! Have a fantastic week. xoxo
Any recommendations for a replacement for someone with an almond allergy?
Hi Monica, I’ve tried making a similar loaf with more oat flour to replace the almond meal. It was good, but the texture was a bit dry. Perhaps replace the 3/4 cup almond meal with 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons gf oat flour. You might need to experiment a bit to get just the right texture. Alternately, you can also try subbing the almond meal with sunflower seed flour. Good luck! 🙂
Hi! I can’t eat oats – can you substitute coconut flour instead? X
Hi Lucy, unfortunately, coconut flour is going to absorb too much moisture. I’ll try to work on an oat-free banana nut bread for the future. Sorry about that! xo
Hi! Could I use zucchini instead of bananas?
Thanks!
★★★★★
Hi Karina, I’m not sure… I haven’t tried that substitute yet. Let me know how it turns out if you do! 🙂
Hahaha – Oh Demeter – I’ll just say good morning to ya, ya “lovable type of gal”!
By the way, yes YES YES – I do so LURVE this recipe of yours for One Bowl Vegan Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread!
Each slice is so chock full of nuts – making each bite heavenly as I so lurve a good dose of nuts in ma banana bread – other than that I like it plain though sometimes I like some non-dairy whipped topping with it.
Happy Monday to ya, my friend. I hope this week is a wonderful one for ya! xoxo
Good morning! Haha. Now we don’t have to overthink this at all. 😉 Nuts and whipped topping would be such a good combo! Happy Monday to you too. Wishing you a fantastic week! xoxo
I’ve never seen the movie Up, but now I may have to! Openings to blog posts can be so hard, I struggle with that a lot, too. This banana bread looks gorgeous, Demeter! I’m not a fan of nuts in baked goods, but I know my husband would go CRAZY for this! Love that it’s just one bowl, too. The easier to clean, the happier I am! 🙂 Pinned, of course! Hope your Monday is off to a great start!
You’ve totally got to see it, Gayle. It’s AMAZING. But get ready to cry like a baby! Lol. Hope you and your husband enjoy this. Who knows, you might just come around to nuts with this recipe. 🙂 Thanks for pinning! Happy Monday. 🙂
