Vegan Plantain Bread
This vegan plantain bread recipe is so easy to prepare, I basically substituted plantains for bananas in my favorite banana bread recipe.
Process the bananas in a food processor and add them to the mixture of gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and spices. Next, add almond milk, coconut oil, and vanilla, and mix everything to form a batter. Bake the plantain bread until it achieves a perfect tender crumb.I enjoyed mine served with Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Sauce.
Plantain VS Banana
Plantains are related to bananas except that they are lower in sugar and starchier than bananas. Due to the starchier nature of plantains, they are usually eaten after being cooked, unlike bananas that are eaten raw when ripe.
Plantains are treated more like a vegetable and are mostly prepared as a side dish. They are traditionally prepared, fried, boiled, baked, My plantain bread recipe is one of the few times that it is served as a dessert.
How To Make Plantain Bread?
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray or brush with oil. Set aside.

Thanks Michelle :)
Dena, I’m so happy you love it. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
Hi Michelle, I just discovered your site through Pinterest and I’m excited to tr your Jamaican Sweet Potato Pudding. I would like to try this recipe here too but can’t have almond milk. I’m wondering if you think coconut milk will be a good substitute? Also, do you think I could use coconut flour or a mixture of coconut and tapioca flour instead of the almond flour perhaps? Thank you for your recipes!
Karla, I’m so happy you found my website, yes you can substitute the almond milk with coconut milk. For the sweet potato pudding a mixture of coconut flour and tapioca flour will work.
I don’t have any almond flour at the moment. Can I use all GF flour? Or sub the almond with oat flour?
So easy to make and delicious, too!
