A delicious vegan banana bread with the perfect moisture content and flavor. There’s nothing better than a freshly baked banana bread loaf with a crunchy turbinado sugar crust and a sweet moist center. The nuttiness of the chopped walnuts puts this over the top.

Have some not-so-fresh-looking bananas staring you down from the countertop? You came to the right place! I can’t tell you how many vegan banana bread recipes I have tried over the years. This one takes the cake. It is nicely balanced with the natural sweetness of the bananas and the rich nuttiness of the chopped walnuts. My favorite part? The delectably crunchy turbinado sugar-coated crust. It’s to die for! Don’t know where to grab turbinado sugar? Try this one. Top a warm slice of bread with some vegan butter spread and you are in banana bread heaven.
