If you are a regular reader, you must be familiar with aquafaba. To the readers who are new to my blog, here is an introduction to home made aquafaba, eggless meringue kisses and eggless Italian Meringue Butter cream.(click on names for recipe). After these recipes, I experimented with a banana bread. Though I have done eggless banana bread previously with milk and vinegar as egg substitutes, this is the first time I am trying with aquafaba. The result was soft and moist delicious banana bread.
The original recipe had two eggs in it and I substituted it with 2 tbs of aquafaba. Usually 3 tbs of aquafaba is used in recipes instead of an egg, but that day I somehow miscalculated it and added two tbs. Though I was happy with the result, I wanted to make sure that the miscalculation didn’t cost any thing. So I made the bread again and this time with 6 tbs of aquafaba substituting two eggs. But the bread was not at all good. It was so mushy and was not edible at all. So two tbs of aquafaba worked great whereas 6 tbs failed. The bread was so yumm and we had a lovely treat that day.

Butter-2/3 cup
Powdered Sugar-1 1/3 cup
Flour/ Maida-1 cup+2 tbs

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Flip it on to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.

1 Tbsp of aquafaba sub per egg is normally what I see written not 2 Tbps per egg.
This was so, so delicious! My son is allergic to egg and asked for banana bread. I google ‘aquafaba banana bread’ and this was the first listing! Thank you Gayathri! I’ve followed you on FB for a few years now!
Thank you Sue for trying out the recipe. I am so glad you liked it..
Thank you for posting recipes with Aquafaba! I tried the banana bread recipe but my loaf sank in the middle after I took it out of the oven. Anyway, I let it rest for about 15 mins but when I tried to flip it onto a rack after cooling, I saw that the middle was undercooked. I used a stand mixer to mix everything–could that be the problem (I.e. overmixing)? How much longer can I leave the bread in the oven without making the top too hard? I would appreciate any help you can give me!
These types of bread take long to bake. You can even let them in oven for an hour, but if you feel like the top is getting too darker, place an aluminium foil on top and let it bake. I don’t think using stand mixer was the problem. May be the size of banana was different and so it upset the liquid ratio in the recipe.
Thank you for your feedback, Gayathri. I will try your suggestion next time. The loaf did come out tasty though so we are enjoying it!
