Tips for making vegan banana bread
- Why ripe bananas are best – very ripe bananas should have spots on them. They’re sweeter and add so much flavor to the bread.
- Use fresh baking soda – fresh baking soda (less than 3 months old) will help the banana bread rise well.
- Do not overmix – It’s okay to have lumps. Mix the batter until just combined for a fluffy batter.
