Banana Biscuit Recipe Ingredients
- Plant-Based Milk: Unsweetened oat or almond milk for creamy moisture. Regular milk will work if you're not vegan or dairy-free.
- Ripe Banana: An overripe mashed banana for natural sweetness and texture.
- Vegan Butter: Melted to perfection for a buttery richness. Regular butter will work if you're not vegan or dairy-free.
- Natural Sweetener: Pure maple syrup for a touch of woodsy sweetness.
- Baking Essentials: Baking powder for rise and all-purpose flour for structure. (For gluten-free enthusiasts, King Arthur Measure for Measure flour is the champion.)
- Maple Butter Glaze: A dreamy duo of melted regular or vegan butter and maple syrup.
How To Make Banana Biscuits
- Oven Ready: Warm up your culinary space by preheating the oven to a snug 400°F.
- Dough Formation: Dive into mixing by blending oat or almond milk, mashed banana, melted butter, maple syrup, and baking powder in a bowl. Gradually welcome the flour, ensuring you mix until a unified dough graces you.
- Scoop & Bake: Employ a tablespoon to portion out dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Grant them a 12-15 minute oven stay, eyeing for a golden hue. Crave a richer color? Consider a brief broil at the end.
- Glorious Glaze: As the biscuits bake, whisk together maple syrup and vegan butter, conjuring the tantalizing maple butter glaze. Once the biscuits declare readiness, let them bask in this glaze, and then indulge!
Frequently Asked Questions
Storing leftover Vegan Banana Drop Biscuits properly ensures they maintain their freshness and flavor. Here's how to store them:
Cool Completely: Before storing, it's essential to let the biscuits cool completely to room temperature. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which could make the biscuits soggy.
Airtight Container: Once cooled, place the biscuits in an airtight container. This helps to retain their moisture and prevents them from becoming stale.
Room Temperature: If you plan to eat the biscuits within the next 1-2 days, you can store them at room temperature.
Refrigerate: For longer storage, up to a week, place the airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps maintain their freshness and prevents any potential spoilage.
Freeze for Extended Storage: If you'd like to keep the biscuits for an extended period, you can freeze them. Place the cooled biscuits on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container, ensuring as much air is removed as possible. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw them at room temperature or reheat in the oven.
Reheating: To enjoy the biscuits warm, you can reheat them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes or until they're heated through. This also helps restore some of their original texture.
The Vegan Banana Drop Biscuits incorporate an overripe mashed banana in their ingredient list. Therefore, these biscuits will have a hint of banana taste, adding a unique and subtle fruity flavor to the traditional biscuit profile. The combination of the banana, maple syrup, and butter, creates a delicious and mouthwatering biscuit flavor.

Ingredients
Banana Biscuits Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
- 1 overripe mashed banana
- ½ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
Maple Butter
- 2 tablespoon melted vegan butter
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Banana Biscuits Recipe Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the oat or almond milk, mashed banana, melted butter, maple syrup, and baking powder. Then, add the flour and mix just until a dough forms. If using gluten-free flour and the dough seems crumbly, add another 1 tablespoon of melted vegan butter and 1 tablespoon of almond milk and work it into the dough. Don't over-mix or your biscuits will be dense.
- Use a table spoon to scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden. Option to broil the biscuits at the end for about a minute to give them more color on top.
- While the biscuits are baking, melt the maple syrup and vegan butter together to create the maple butter. Drizzle over the warm biscuits and enjoy!

These look amazing! Does it have to be almond milk? Would oat or soya work?

Hii! It looks so yummy ? Is there anything I can use instead of vegan butter?

You can try coconut oil! I've not tested it this way but I know others who have and said it works out great!
Lorraine says
Hi! I can substitute the banana for one egg?
JillianGlenn says
Hi Lorraine, I've not tried this but I would imagine it would work! Please let me know how it goes!
Francesca says
We loved these! The banana I used wasn't as ripe as I'd like so I compensated for the flavour with more maple syrup in the glaze and topped it with flaky sea salt after 🙂 We'll definitely make them again, thank you!
JillianGlenn says
Thank you for the review, Francesca! I love that you were able to add more sweetness with maple syrup!

Envision73 says
Just made your maple syrup banana drop
Biscuits and they came out amazing! I used regular butter and didn’t have Almond milk in the house so I used half-and-half as I had to compromise but still the best tasting and best texture I’ve had in a long time since finding out I’m allergic to wheat and eggs. Thank you so much for these recipes!
Jillian Glenn says
Thank you so much for trying my recipe! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed them!
Gin Learned says
I am curious which blend of GF flour you use. I am using the bobs paleo mix because I am allergic to potatoes and this is a safe mix for me. I am careful not to over blend and my biscuits are a bit flat. (But still delish!) We have decided that these biscuits are reminiscent of a macaroon.
Jillian Glenn says
Hi Gin, glad you like the recipe! The Bob's Red flour you're using isn't a regular or gluten free all purpose flour which is what the recipe requires! I'd recommend using the flour suggested in the recipe. Not sure if King Arthur Measure for Measure has potatoes or not but that is what I use!
Gracie says
These are sooooo good. How do you recommend storing leftovers?
Jillian says
hi Gracie, thank you so much! I'm happy you like the banana drop biscuits. I recommend storing them in an airtight container or ziplock on the counter top for up to 3 days. I usually store the maple butter seperately in the fridge and reheat before serving.
Meghan says
Just made these and both my husband and I love them!! So easy and so good!

Hi Meghan! So happy you and your husband enjoyed these vegan banana drop biscuits!!
Flowrence Jeffries says
