Why I Make A Vegan Gluten Free Sourdough Banana Bread

Making a vegan gluten free sourdough banana bread is pleasure for me especially when I have some extra sourdough discard. I like to customize my gluten free sourdough breads according to my dietary needs (food intolerances): no gluten, dairy, eggs, refined sugar or highly processed ingredients.

The sourdough starter adds extra flavor, lending this vegan gluten free sourdough banana bread a very slight tang, but doesn’t actually make it taste like sourdough bread. Check out my gluten free sourdough pumpernickel bread – for a more distinct flavor.

This banana bread with sourdough starter comes together just like a quick-bread – no need to wait to rise and is great for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Usually when people make a banana bread without eggs, they use egg substitutes like yogurt, applesauce, buttermilk or flax meal. But all these when used without a leavening agent will make the banana bread very dense with a heavy flat looking texture.

So how do I make a sourdough banana bread without eggs, dairy, gluten, sugar or baking powder and still with a great fluffy texture? The answer is: natural fermentation + a leavening agent (baking soda and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice). This will give your banana bread bread that airy texture while adding some more complex dimension, like in these vegan gluten free sourdough buns.

Gluten Free Sourdough Banana Bread

It’s not that hard as it looks to make your own gluten free sourdough banana bread without eggs. If you have a gluten free sourdough starter great! You’re almost set to bake. If you don’t, you can easily learn how to make a sourdough starter in your kitchen.

I also tend to avoid store-bought gluten free flours due to their “not so healthy” ingredients like tapioca starch, potato starch, xanthan gum, cheap rice flour (possibly contaminated with arsenic). Instead I choose organic (sprouted) flours, in proportions that aren’t detrimental to my gut health.

Tips For Making Gluten Free Sourdough Banana Bread

The riper the bananas, the better.
Dried fruits and the bananas make the banana bread pretty sweet, so there is no need to add extra sweeteners.
There is no need to use oil in the recipe, the sourdough banana bread will be moist and soft just as it is.
To make banana bread without eggs and keep the texture and shape sturdy enough, use ground flax seeds instead (vegan friendly).
You don’t need baking powder to make a vegan gluten free banana bread rise, using baking soda (which will react with the apple cider vinegar or the acid in the dough) will do the job just fine.
Another option to make this sourdough banana bread rise (without baking soda) is to mix all ingredients, and let it ferment in the baking tin for 4-6 hours or until it doubles in size.
Drape the banana bread with a piece of aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes of baking, then remove it. You can also remove the bread from the tin for an even baking. This will prevent the sourdough banana bread from getting too dark especially when the center isn’t done yet.

How To Make Dairy Free Banana Bread Without Eggs

Making this sourdough banana bread recipe requires a bowl, a spatula, and a lined loaf pan.

Step 1: Mash the bananas well and whisk together the wet ingredients + the dried fruits (if using any) – I used dried cranberries, so they will get plumper and softer.

Step 2: Mix add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. When you combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients, don’t over mix. Stir until just combined. If you over mix you will end up with a flat banana bread.

Step 3: Pour the the batter in the prepared pan and bake according to instructions (see recipe card + video).

How To Store And Freeze Sourdough Banana Bread

Once baked, this vegan sourdough banana bread should last about 3-4 days tightly sealed on the counter. You can either freeze the loaf as a whole or slice it and freeze the slices. To defrost a slice just pop it in the toaster.

If you want a warm fresh baked sourdough banana bread early in the morning the you can let it ferment overnight. Just mix the starter with flours and liquid (dairy free milk) in the evening. Then in the morning, the dough can be mixed with the remaining ingredients and you can have a fresh-from-the-oven breakfast.

To make it even easier, I created videos on YouTube for the bread recipes with extra directions and visual guidance, so go head and subscribe in case you decide to watch them later.

Ingredients 1x 2x 3x

1 cup gluten free sourdough starter – activated
½ cup oat flour, – or buckwheat four
½ cup tigernut flour – or almond flour
¼ cassava flour
⅓ cup flax seeds – ground
1 cup plant milk, – non-dairy
3 bananas – mashed
1 cup dried cranberries – unsulfured
½ tsp pink salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp apple cider vinegar – or lemon juice
1 tsp maple syrup crystals – optional
1 tsp sesame seeds – optional
1 tsp shredded coconut – optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a 10 x 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper; I used an extendable tin. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the bananas with plant milk, vanilla extract and cranberries. Set aside.
Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the starter, the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, flax seeds and salt.
Whisk together the banana mixture with the dry ingredients. Gently mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the top generously with maple syrup crystals, cinnamon or seeds.
Cover with a clean towel and let it rise for about 15-20 min in a warm place (not too hot). If you’re not using baking soda, let it ferment for aprox. 4 hours or until it doubles in size.
When baking, cover the sourdough banana bread with a piece of aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes, then remove it. After that lower the temperature from 400 F to 370 F and remove the foil. At this time you can also remove the bread from the tin (see video).
Bake for 70 minutes total, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing from the pan, then set on a rack to cool completely and slice.
I keep it frozen (pre-sliced) and whenever I need I just throw a few slices in the toaster, the smell is extraordinary and it tastes like it was just baked.

Notes

If you’d like to freeze this sourdough banana bread then allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, then slice it and place in a ziploc bag. Freeze the banana bread for up to 2 months.
To thaw the sourdough banana bread, place it in the fridge for at least 24 hours. Then you can toast each slice separately or warm up the whole loaf in the oven at 400F for 15-20 min.
