This recipe is pretty nostalgic for me, too.

It was probably the very first recipe I came up with for my kiddo with food allergies.

As toddlers, my boys continued to gobble it up every time I made it.

And now that my kids are teenagers, I need to double this recipe and make TWO loaves each time in order to keep the family content.

I’m here for it!

and even raid Grandma’s brown banana stash just to make this delicious bread.

Never throw out brown bananas again.

NO MILK NO EGG BANANA BREAD

Our dairy-free and egg-free banana bread recipe is especially nice for food allergy families…

because it doesn’t even call for milk.

No milk substitute needed.

And it requires just one egg that’s easily replaced with 3 tablespoons of applesauce.

I know flax eggs and boxed egg replacer can be a little intimidating for some.

Applesauce is definitely easiest, and it works wonderfully in this recipe.

Feel free to use one egg instead of applesauce if you can.

This recipe is also great for those who find themselves wanting to bake but not having milk or egg on hand.

Or just save your eggs for something else, they are getting expensive!

BANANA BREAD ADD-IN’S

Although banana bread stands alone as a star, you can also spice things up with add-in’s like these.

  • dairy-free chocolate chips (affiliate)
  • your favorite nuts if not allergic
  • brown sugar sprinkled on top before baking

You can always leave it as is, too.

We do most of the time.

Seriously, it’s delicious as is.

I promise, the fam will chow it down no matter what.

BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

If you want banana bread faster,

consider putting the batter into muffin tins, instead.

This means you can enjoy in half the time.

And if it’s summer, your oven won’t be on as long.

This muffin pan (affiliate) is my absolute favorite.

It’s what I always use to make our dairy-free and egg-free banana bread muffins.

It’s no stick and no need for wrappers when I’m just making a snack for home.

This is the easiest muffin pan to clean, too!

Here’s our muffin version of this banana bread recipe.

LOWER SUGAR BANANA BREAD

Our original recipe called for 3/4 cup of white sugar.

But some readers have tried less sugar with success!

So we gave it a whirl, too. And we agree, less sugar banana bread bakes up just fine and tastes just as delicious.

As a result, you’ll notice our recipe now gives you a range on the sugar amount to choose from.

We hope you like the flexibility in this recipe!
