Description

A delightful blend of moist banana bread and sweet cinnamon roll flavors, topped with creamy vegan frosting, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 3 overripe mashed bananas
  • 4 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 4 tbsp melted vegan butter (for cinnamon filling)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon (for filling)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp melted vegan butter (for frosting)
  • 2 oz softened vegan cream cheese (for frosting)


Instructions

  1. Mash the overripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Mix the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond or oat milk, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined.
  5. Pour half of the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan.
  6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon for the filling, then sprinkle this mixture over the batter in the pan.
  7. Pour the remaining batter over the top, swirling gently with a knife to create cinnamon swirls.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating chopped nuts or dried fruits. Adjust the cinnamon to your taste for the filling.
