Whether you’re enjoying it for breakfast, as a midday pick-me-up, or with your favorite oat milk latte, this loaf is guaranteed to make your taste buds happy.
Let’s get baking!
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
1 cups all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option!)
1-2 tbsp matcha powder (adjust based on how bold you want the flavor!)
1 + 1/2 tsp or 6g of baking powder
Wet Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed (the riper, the better!)
½ cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy work great!)
2 tbsp or 30g of coconut yogurt
Optional Mix-Ins (for extra yumminess!)
½ cup vegan chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are chef’s kiss)
Baking Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper—trust me, it makes cleanup so much easier!
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. This ensures your matcha gets evenly distributed for that dreamy green color!
Mash & Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the plant-based milk and coconut yogurt. Stir everything together until combined.
Combine the Magic
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Pro tip: Don’t overmix! A few lumps are totally fine—it keeps the bread nice and fluffy.
Add the Extras!
If you’re feeling fancy, fold in those vegan chocolate chips or nuts. They add the perfect little crunch or melty goodness to every bite.
Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and pop it in the oven for 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & Enjoy
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. If you can resist, wait until it’s completely cool before slicing. (But no judgment if you sneak a warm bite, it’s impossible to resist!)
This vegan matcha banana bread is an absolute must-try. It’s vibrant, energizing, and packed with plant-based goodness. Whether you’re a matcha lover or just looking to shake up your banana bread game, this loaf will not disappoint.
Happy baking!
