Super moist dairy-free banana bread recipe

This is the best dairy-free banana bread recipe. I have made hundreds of banana bread reicpes in my life and found that many can be dry, especially dairy-free ones that don’t have butter or Greek yogurt. That’s why I made this recipe for you. This dairy-free banana bread is super moist, packed with banana flavor, and extra soft and fluffy.

My friends told me that this was the softest and moistest banana bread they had ever eaten! They couldn’t believe it was dairy-free. I actually had to make a second batch because the first one was gone in under 30 minutes.

We use coconut oil, coconut sugar, extra bananas, and a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour to make this dairy-free banana bread recipe extra moist and fluffy. The coconut oil acts like a dairy-free butter, and the coconut sugar makes the bread rich and soft.

Plus, this recipe is healthy! There is no butter, no refined sugar, and we use both white whole wheat and all-purpose flour to lighten it up. This banana bread is sweetened with coconut sugar!
