Buckwheat Banana Bread is a soft, nutty, and delicious vegan and gluten-free recipe made in just one bowl with no eggs or dairy. It’s an easy homemade treat perfect for a cozy snack, quick breakfast, or simple dessert.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
1 + ½ cups mashed bananas, ⅓ cup neutral vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Add buckwheat flour, cane sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
1 + ¾ cups buckwheat flour, ½ cup cane sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
Pour the batter into a 9x5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sugar on top if desired. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and texture.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and fluffy.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
Slice and freeze for up to 2 months for easy grab-and-go portions.
