Easy Vegan Banana Bread (Moist, Fluffy & One Bowl)

Prep oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease or line an 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

Make the flax egg: In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with the warm water. Set aside for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter, sugar, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and flax egg until smooth.

Add dry ingredients: Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) over the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix, it's ok if it's lumpy.

Add-ins (optional): Fold in any add-ins if using.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
