The Easiest Classic Banana Bread Recipe With Oil *No Butter*
Classic banana bread recipes are sometimes hard to come by. Especially when you need a dairy free recipe. I have found a way to have the super moist texture of classic banana bread with oil rather than butter. And it is SO easy too!
When I was younger My grandma and I would make this recipe with butter. It was always super moist and I loved it as a dessert warm out of the oven. But as I grew I had a period of time where I was not eating any type of dairy. That took the option for this bread out but I still wanted the yummy goodness so I had to convert the recipe to a dairy-free option.
I could have replaced the butter with oil or applesauce but I opted for oil. I am so glad I did because I won’t go back to making this classic banana bread recipe with butter now.

Is it 2 bananas or 4? You have different numbers in your ingredient list from the recipe box
Thank you for catching that! it is 3-4 but I usually do 4. I fixed it in the recipe.
This only fit in one of my “regular size” loaf pans. If I had put it in two it would be a thin loaf and overcooked. You need to specify the size of the pan.
Thank you for your feedback. I use regular size pans as well. I have tried making them in many different size pans and I found that size to fit the best.
when you say regular size, do you mean 8″ or a 9″ loaf pan
