Eggless banana bread recipe – No egg no butter whole wheat banana bread recipe with full video and step by step pictures.
Super soft and tasty banana bread recipe using a mix of whole wheat flour and plain flour. We are adding brown sugar for sweetness, you can use powdered jaggery too. I have tried this recipe many times and every time it turns out perfectly well. I adapted the recipe from here.
Whenever I have overripe bananas at home, I will make this banana bread. Overripe bananas will work perfectly for this recipe. I usually pack this for my kid’s snacks box. As this stays good for a week in the refrigerator, you can make this in 2 batches and store it for a week.
I have tried making this recipe using whole wheat flour only, but that turned out a little dense. Adding nuts and raisins make this more interesting for the kids. You can add chocolate chips also instead of nuts and raisins.
Also, you can add 1-2 tbsp of cocoa powder while sifting the flours. This gives a nice cocoa flavor to the banana bread. We are not adding butter to this recipe. So it is very easy to make this without pre-planning to keep the butter at room temperature.
I am using oil instead of butter in most of my baking recipes and it is turning out very well. Even I have tried in few of my cookies too and it turned very well.

Yummy drink ,jeyashri…luv the bottle with lemon squash
It looks yummy.Is there any diff betn whole wheat flour and wheat flour
No devibala, both r same
I only used self raising flour and it turned out light and fluffy. Really yummy and I am a notoriously bad baker. All my cakes tend to flop. This one seems to be flop proof as even I could make it :). Enjoy!
Thanks for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed.
Hi , I baked this bread today and it turned out very yummy. I expected it to raise a bit more. What size bread pan did you use? Also baking took very long at 180 degrees for me. I increased the temperature to 375 after 50 minutes and then it got done in about 5 mins. I have noticed that most baking recipes use 375 and 20-25 minutes. Is there a reason why this recipe needs to be done at 180?
Glad that you tried the recipe. Regarding your doubts,i baked in 180 degree celsius not Fahrenheit. I updated this in the recipe too. I will let you know the size of my bread pan shortly as it is with my friend.
I baked this today.. And it was amazing! 🙂
So soft and light and fluffy..
Thanks for a lovely recipe!
😀
Awesome recipe. I tried 2 batches. One with 1/2 cup sugar. And the next with about 1/3 cup sugar. Because I had huge very sweet bananas.
Both turned out very nice.
Maybe I will also try with Splenda for my diabetic friend.
Thanks.
Oh!! so this is exactly same as Nithya tried and eventually me!! the only difference being the substitution of baking soda with cooking soda!!
Just the recipe I was looking for…no butter,that's awesome:-)
sorry wasnt very fluffy. infact there were some dense sticky layers. pls guide as to how i goofed up. i used three small bananas and no raisins. also can we just use whole wheat flour?
sorry didnt rise too much nor was it fluffy and light. infact some layers were sticky and dense.pls guide where i goofed up.
can we just use wheat flour alone? also how should we measure 3/4 cup exactly?
thanx
hi,
If you use only wheat flour it will be too dense and sticky.
My measuring cup has 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup, so always use measuring cups for measuring the baking ingredients.
If everything added in the right proportion this bread will raise and turn out perfect. Hope it works.
Happy baking
Is the whole wheat flour available in the baking isle ?
I am planning this recipe today. Is the whole wheat flour used here same as Chapathi flour ?
It is the chapatti flour I used you can use the whole wheat flour available in the baking area
Hello Jeyashri,
I tried out your recipe sometime back and its a big hit! Loved it for less oil, use of whole wheat flour!!
With the same base, can I try different variations say date-walnut, mango or vanilla?
Thanks,
Chitra
Hi Jeyashri, my cake came out a bit sticky, would you know why? i did the same way as your recipe
hi jeyashri, i have sent you a message twice, am not sure, if you have received it. i have tried your recipe twice, but came out sticky, any idea why?
Sorry for the delayed reply vidhya. Just came back from vacation and took little time to settle down to routine.
This bread will turn out slightly sticky but not too much. I have tried this a lot of times and from that i could make out that, if i use full of All purpose flour(Maida) it willcome out non sticky, half white flour and half atta will make it slightly sticky after cutting it into loaf.Taste wise both were super. If it is slightly sticky it is ok.
Thanks Jeyashri, then its ok and i am happy with my cake
I tried the banana bread using only wheat flour instead if maida-atta combination and the bread is moist and delicious. thanks.
Hey jeyashree. a lovely blog for naive baker like me. i tried out the banana bread I have a convection m/w tried out by setting temp to 180'c. tested the bread it was gooey in the middle. baked for 10 more minutes didn happen. the top was like a rubber :O .but interior of it remained mushy. More like a halwa! 🙁
I "guess" i followed your exact measurement but where did i go wrong ?
Thanks for the message. I haven't baked in a convention oven so far. You try setting the temp to 150 to 160. since the temp is high it may get baked on the top and inside will be goey. Same like we deep fry in very high flame. And since th top is cooked already if you are keeping it in the oven for a long, it becomes rubbery as it is an eggless bread. Hope this helps.
The banana bread came out very well. Thanks for the recipe.
This looks yummy and healthy, also no eggs and butter.. I want to try it in cooker as we r not having oven… Is it possible? Can U give me idea on this.. Thanks.
Raji,
I am clueless whether this can be tried in cooker or not. But as far as i have discussed with my friends, it is not possible to do it in the cooker!!
Thank you jayasree for the wonderful recipe. I have never been a good baker and have trieddd soooooo many recipes for banana bread all with bad results. I foloowwed ur recipe to the T and it came out perfect. Tahnk you so much for this one.
Hi Jeyashri,
Tried this banana bread and it came out really well. Infact i made this only with whole wheat flour, halved the oil and added extra yoghurt. Thanks for the recipe as have been searching for eggless, no butter banana bread and this was a hit!

Gayathri
Hi Jeyashri,
My friend suggested me to try this banana cake from your blog as it came out very well for her. I have leftover sugar syrup from gulab jamun which i made for Diwali. Can i use that instead of sugar?
Though it sounds interesting, but i am not sure how it will come as consistency of sugar and sugar syrup are not same.
Hi Jeyashri,
Yesterday I tried this recipe & it came out really well. My Daughter Loved it with a little banana man in the middle. I made it as a cake, as i dint have the Bread loaf pan . Thanks for the wonderful & healthy recipe. Gr8 work. Way to Go.. 🙂

Thanks jayashree……it came out so so yummy and just perfect.
I have made this bread many times and everyone loves it .
I baked this today and it was successful. This was my first attempt and am very pleased with the result. It took only 30 mins for me at 350F & preheat of 10 mins. Thanks for posting this recipe, its a keeper.
Hello jeyashri
I have been following your blog for a long time.Have tried many recipes and all of them have come out perfect taste, texture and flavour wise. Today had searched for eggless banana bread as i had some ripen bananas and found you had the recipie so went ahead without having a second search.best part was no butter too.Jus out from the oven it smells heaven and i had a small bite of it and it was soo yummy and spongy.I added some walnuts too..Waiting for my husband to taste in the evening 🙂 Keep up the great work..
