Why Make Egg-Free Banana Bread? (And the Current Egg Shortage in the U.S.)

Egg prices have skyrocketed in the past year due to ongoing supply chain issues, avian flu outbreaks, and increased demand. Many households are searching for creative ways to bake without eggs while still achieving great taste and texture. Luckily, bananas work as an excellent egg substitute by providing moisture, natural sweetness, and a slight binding effect, making them ideal for egg-free baking.

This recipe delivers the same soft, fluffy, and delicious banana bread you love—without the need for eggs!

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Egg Free Banana Bread

To make this egg-free banana bread, you’ll need just 8 ingredients, including…

• Bananas are the base of banana bread and naturally sweeten this recipe. You really don’t need eggs for banana bread because the moistness of bananas is a great substitute, binding the ingredients together while adding flavor.
• Olive oil provides healthy fats and keeps the bread moist and tender. Although olive oil has a distinct flavor, it’s *NOT* overpowering. You can substitute any oil you’d like here.
• Milk or plant-based milk adds additional moisture and richness. Make this recipe 100% dairy free by using a plant-based option.
• Pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor and adds a warm, aromatic touch. This recipe calls for a full tablespoon to really amp up the flavor.
• Oat flour is made from blending oats together in a food processor or blender until flour-like consistency forms. It’s a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional flour, providing fiber and a slightly nutty flavor.
• All-purpose flour helps create the perfect balance of structure and softness. I like this recipe best when the combination of flours is used, but you can use 100% all-purpose flour, if you wish.
• Baking soda acts as a leavening agent, helping the bread rise and achieve a light, fluffy texture.
• Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
• Dark chocolate chips are a banana bread essential! However, you can omit if you wish.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

Before you start baking, make sure you have the following tools:

• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk or fork (for mashing bananas)
• Spatula
• Loaf pan

How to Make Egg-Free Banana Bread

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
3. Add wet ingredients—olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract—and stir until well combined.
4. Mix dry ingredients right to the bowl — oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
