Used melted vegan butter and added some chai spice. Cooked completely through, AMAZING texture. So grateful one of the best recipes I’ve made sugar free. Mmm

I never ever write reviews, but I HAVE to for this one. I dabble in vegan recipes, trying to find healthier versions of old favorites. This banana bread far exceeded my expectations. I've told everyone I know that I found THE banana bread recipe-- I'll never have to search for another. The one that is healthy and actually tastes like the full sugar & dairy version I grew up on. A few notes: I made it with Bob's red Mill gf 1:1 flour & added chocolate chips & slivered almonds.

I’ve never left a review on a recipe before but I’ve stopped eating added sugar. It’s been a few months now and it’s very hard to find vegan bread/cake recipes using dates instead of sugar. I’ve tried a few but I’ve never had one be as successful or taste nearly as good as this. This has become my go to banana bread recipe thank you so much!!! I add a “cream cheese frosting” that I make with vegan cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract and date paste and it tasted sooo good!! Thank you again!

In reply to Abi.

Generally applesauce is used in baked goods in place of oil. So you would replace the applesauce with an equal amount of oil. ( Melted Butter, coconut, vegetable, canola etc). Hope that helps. Applesauce cuts calories and is undetectable once baked.

I am very appreciative that you include the nutritional breakdown with your recipes. I also thank you for your notes that tell me/us how to make them gluten-free, etc.

Iv tried a bunch of recipes and none of them turned out good .. This one was so simple and came out too good .... Skipped the applesauce because i didn't have it .. And soaked the dates in wine for about 6h ... It was so so good! My new favourite!

I have been searching for the perfect banana bread recipe and this is it! It is moist, fluffy, and not too sweet. I used whole wheat pastry flour and just under 1 cup of dates. Love it!!

I was dubious about this recipe but it turned out fabulous! I tasted the wet batter and thought it was sickly sweet but when tasting the final product, the texture & sweetness were perfect. I made muffins (which this recipe mentions "muffins" multiple times but doesn't actually include directions on how to make them)- it made 18 muffins, I baked them for about 25 minutes until the top was golden brown and a knife came out clean. super yum!

This recipe has become a staple in our house, and I use the base as a way to make other breads and muffins without added sugar. Lately, I've been swapping the whole wheat flour for shredded coconut and mixing in a few chocolate chips (I know, that kind of kills the no sugar thing). Thank you so much, Sarah!

Hi! How can I substitute the apple sauce with a chia seed egg?

Hi looking at trying this recipe. What can I use instead of applesauce. Could almond milk work?

One of my favorite recipes! The family loves it! I was going to make a loaf this morning, but I only have date paste in the kitchen right now instead of the usual dates. How much date paste is equivalent to 1 cup of dates? I cannot seem to find a website to give a conversion factor. Thank you!

Great Recipe. I used 1 C. Trader Joes GF Flour and 1 C Almond Flour. My local market has been carrying packages of date puree. Worked out really well. Added 3/4 cut toasted walnuts and some Lilys low sugar mini choc chips. YUM. It's very wet but super delicious with my pot of tea. I can't stop eating it. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I made just a half a batch, and ate the whole thing in two days!! I usually don’t leave a comment on things like this, but his was so amazing that I just had to. I also substituted figs for dates and it turned out perfectly fine!! One of the most delicious breads I’ve ever had!!

Turned out beautifully! It was a high, risen cake. It had the perfect sweetness.
