THIS Technique Makes PERFECT Vegan Banana Bread Every Time!

[@leauphillips3563]

I so appreciate the time and effort you put into every single one of your videos. More than that, I appreciate the info you provide and how I learn something about vegan cooking and cooking in general in every single one and I am 69 and have been cooking for longer than you've been alive so that's something! You have become my Sunday school...

[@Frandallina]

I'm 67 and I also appreciate those same things she does. My mother in law taught me a lot about cooking and I love that I can continue to learn even more from Nikki!

[@edmae2243]

I agree! I have never made a recipe developed by Nikki that didn't come out well. That's exactly because she tests her recipes so fastidiously.

[@NikkiVegan]

Omg wow this comment warmed my heart, thank you so much! I really try to share tips that are helpful by explaining why and how, not just "do this" or "add that" with no explanation. I think understanding why and how things work in the kitchen has given me so much more confidence as a home cook and I enjoy the process so much more because of it. I hope my videos will help others to feel the same way. I really love teaching and sharing what I've learned so it's so nice to know that it's been helpful for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a nice comment, you've made my day 😊❤️ Hope you're having a nice evening!

Finally. A dependable vegan banana bread. I’ve tried several recipes from other vegan blogs and they were either too dense, didn’t cook through, or too grainy. Your recipe came our perfect. I appreciated the baking tips-I took the time to actually heed them. Thank you, Nikki! 😊

Have had this banana bread recipe on my list to make forever. Ive tried a few others and they just weren't as good as my non vegan recipe i used to make. I just tasted my loaf using this recipe and it's perfect and delicious!! Im kicking myself for putting off trying it for so long lol

[@NikkiVegan]

This is so great to hear! Thanks for making my recipe and taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed it. This made my day 😊❤️

I am making this soon! Your baked goods always turn out great for me :)

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Patty! That's so nice to hear! I'm excited for you to make this one, it's been so cozy to have this old fashioned banana bread around during the week. A warm slice with my morning coffee is just heaven 🥰 Hope you enjoy and have a great week!

[@PersianCook]

My first time trying this recipe and it’s PERFECT, it’s the best thing I’ve baked in years and best vegan banana bread I’ve had ever!! Thank you so much!

ahhhhhh this comment made me so happy! yay!!! I'm thrilled to hear that 😊 I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for letting me know ❤️

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

this vegan banana bread texture looks spot on with the banana bread I make (non vegan)! I must try this out, probably share with my vegan friend if it turns out like yours. Thank you so much for the detailed information and video.

[@cheeksl4914]

Hi NikkiVegan I made this tonight and it turned out really good! I added walnuts and chocolate chips! I loved the texture. Perfect.. Thank you for sharing❤

[@NikkiVegan]

Yum! That sounds awesome! I'm so happy you liked my recipe. I worked really hard on the texture when making this recipe so it's so nice to hear you point that out. Thrilled that you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know 😊❤️

any substitutes for flour?

[@sanjake67]

I was wondering if whole wheat would work.

[@amalbakleh2306]

Thank you for this delicious recipe. I ended up using brown sugar instead of cane sugar and coconut milk instead of water. This was the best tasting banana bread I have ever tried :) Thank you!

[@NikkiVegan]

COCONUT MILK INSTEAD OF WATER?! That's such a cool idea! I wouldn't have thought of that. Thank you so much for letting me know, I can't wait to try it. That sounds great. Did you sue the carton kind or the can kind?

I love the baking tips, I've been baking for years and sometimes things don't turn out completely amazingly. Maybe it's because I was rushing! 🙃

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thanks Anna! I was in the same boat too! I think it's really the sum of those teeny tiny little tips and tricks that add up and make a difference. They all seem to simple to be effective but I think it's fun to see how small changes can lead to bakery-style results 🤗 Wishing you luck with this banana bread! Let me know how it goes ❤️

good stuff. also for any recipe w vanilla, vanilla bean over extract, but if you don't feel like spending that much, vanilla bean paste is also better than extract but more affordable than the bean. i've seen at trader joes

[@NikkiVegan]

Oh cool! I've been wanting to try vanilla bean paste but I haven't seen it anywhere! Thanks for letting me know that TJs has it. I'll look for that and try it out! Thank you so much 😊😊

[@Wwetitanfan27]

@@NikkiVegan sure thing. Granted, I saw it at 1 location that I wouldn't normally go to and haven't been at since, and didn't see it at the couple I do usually go to, so IDK if it's seasonal or certain locations only or I just missed it or they ran out or what.

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Jennifer! I hope you enjoy it 😊😊 I'm curious to know what it was you don't like about the ones you've tried so far. That kind of feedback is so helpful for me when I'm thinking about new recipes to make and what to keep in mind! 👩🏻‍🍳❤️

[@jenniferomahony577]

@@NikkiVegan they always seem to come out really dense, it's either the recipe or the chef 🤪

[@NikkiVegan]

@@jenniferomahony577 haha yeah it could be the recipe ratios...without knowing the exact recipe I would say that fluffing up the flour and spooning it into the measuring cups is kind of game changer because scooping it directly out of the container presses it down and makes it more dense (aka too much flour which means dense bread) Also mixing the wet ingredients well and ensuring your leaveners are fresh/not expired can go a long way too. Hope that helps!

[@renstiacumbie3172]

That looks so delicious. Can I try another oil instead of coconut oil I'm not a fan of coconut.

[@NikkiVegan]

I use specifically use "refined" coconut oil instead of "virgin" so that it doesn't add any coconut flavor to what I'm baking. It's a huge game changer so highly recommend that but also organic canola oil should work well too! Hope you enjoy this banana bread recipe 😊❤️

[@pratikshapandey7435]

Please make a Pavlova vegan cake recipe please.

[@NikkiVegan]

Ok sounds good! I’ll try my best ❤️❤️

[@jsnwayne]

Does anyone else love the end pieces as much as I do? Whenever I make banana bread, I bake two loaves at the time and cut off all four end pieces to save for myself. I love to put chopped pecans and even a bit of espresso power in mine.

[@NikkiVegan]

Ooo pecans and espresso sounds so good! I’ve gotta try that! And I personally love the middle piece because it’s always so soft but I can see why you like the ends! Those edges are so flavorful! Are you the same with brownies?

[@jsnwayne]

@@NikkiVegan Brownies are literally my favorite food ever, so I take as many corners, centers, and sides as I can get! A fun fact about banana bread is if you double any recipe (+ add about 10 min. cook time) you can make banana bread BUNDT CAKE! Eat it naked or top with any glaze you like (salted caramel pairs really well).

[@NikkiVegan]

@@jsnwayne OMG yum!! That's such a cool hack, thank you! I love bundt cakes! I'll try that next time ❤️ side note: agreed with you about brownies!

[@marilynpolzin8361]

Can’t wait to try this. Out of bananas right now. May try it as cupcakes, know the baking time will be less. Whatcha think? Thanks

[@NikkiVegan]

Yay! I hope you love it! Cupcakes would be so good and so cute! I love that idea 👌 I'm not sure what the bake time would be though because batters like this can be tricky...it looks golden brown and done way before it's actually done...Like this bakes for an hour but it starts to look kind done around 30 mins so it's tempting to want to pull it out then but it really needs the extra time to cook all the way through. I'd say as long as the tops are deeply golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean you should be good to go 😊😊 Please report back and let me know how long it takes if you try it out! Hope you have a great Sunday ❤️

[@YuliaRatnasari22]

Can I change the flour with almond flour or oat flour?

[@NikkiVegan]

I’d recommend a gluten free all purpose flour blend for best results. With the ratios in this recipe, almond flour would make it oily and oat flour might absorb too much moisture and make it dry. I haven’t tested the recipe with gf all purpose so I can’t say for sure, but I think that should give you the best outcome ❤️❤️ Hope you enjoy!

[@mikehaldoupis8857]

Holy smokes that looks good. Do you like to use Just Egg instead of flax egg in some cases?

[@NikkiVegan]

I have tried that yet but I’ve been meaning to give it a try! Would you recommend it?

[@mikehaldoupis8857]

Yes I recommend. It’s easy to use as a 1 for 1 and makes baking nice and fluffy. I’ve only used it in muffins though

[@alexandrinerigsbyhenry3032]

Maybe add peanut butter or almond butter?

[@NikkiVegan]

That would be good! Just put it on top though, not in the batter, because it will effect the outcome if it’s mixed in ❤️❤️

Isn't vegan should be gluten free what flour is that you all need to stop using the word vegan

[@NikkiVegan]

Gluten is a protein found in wheat and wheat is vegan 🌿 The term vegan means we don’t eat animals. You might be confused because some people are both vegan AND gluten-free but that’s not necessary to be vegan. Hope that clears things up for you ❤️
