I made the maple syrup version, since that's what I had at home.  Instead of vanilla extract, I used lemon extract and added the zest of one lemon.  It was delicious, and a very nive fresh taste for summer.  I love the recipies that are posted-  it keeps me excited about trying new food. 

Thanks for the wonderful recipe!  Luckily, I had most of the ingredients so I made both versions.  I used 1/2 cup organic applesauce as an egg replacement and drizzled dark chocolate on top.. so yummy!

i made the agave version, but instead of earth balance butter i used extra virgin olive oil, added some cinnamon, and only used 1/2 a cup of agave instead of 3/4 cup. it was so delicious!! it seriously tasted better than banana bread made with eggs and butter!! my mom absolutely loved it as well!

The agave syrup banana bread recipe was awesome.  I only had 2 bananas left but figured I'd try it.  The mixture was a little thick, so I added about a cup of organic peach applesauce.  It turned out amazing.  Thanks for the recipe.

I cannot have gluten.   Booo.  Any suggestions to sub the wheat flour, etc?

yesterday I cut down three stalks of bananas and will be needing to use them soon.  Could someone help me with where this recipe is?  I new to this site and still learning the ropes.  mahalos for the help!  Aloha!

gah, I love how The Kind Life has everything! I was just looking for the perfect banana bread recipe, then I stumble upon this! Thank you so much for sharing, Katie (as well as Alicia, for making us all aware)

Can't wait to show my bestfriend this recipe so she can bake it for me! (Unfortunately I can't bake HAHAHA)

I was wondering if there was any alternative to the Earth Balance butter? 

I have a fantastic banana bread recipe; incredibly tasty made of simple ingredients that are good for you.  It was my mom's recipe, and was already very healthy before I veganized it.  It's good baked as a loaf or as muffins. 

Would this count as superhero?

1 cup mashed bananas (2-3 medium)
1/2 cup oil (canola or other)
1/2 cup brown rice syrup (or other sweetener such as honey or brown sugar)
2 eggs (vegan version = 5 tablespoons pre-ground flaxseeds + 6 tablespoons water, combine and let sit for a few minutes)
1 cup spelt flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mash bananas in one bowl.  Combine the oil and brown rice syrup in another bowl.  Add the "eggs" to the oil/syrup.  Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl.  Alternately add dry ingredients and oil/syrup mixture with the bananas until all combined.

Bake in a greased loaf pan for 1 hour at 350, or in greased muffin tin for 35 minutes.

Give it a try - I swear it's amazing!
