Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread Batter

  • 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

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 4 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon

Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 2 oz softened vegan cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a metal loaf pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork. Add the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond or oat milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine. Gradually add the flour and rolled oats, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. In a small bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make the cinnamon swirl mixture. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter, then use a spoon to gently fold it into the batter to create a marbled swirl effect.
  4. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  5. Make the Frosting: While the bread bakes, whisk together the melted vegan butter, powdered sugar, and softened vegan cream cheese until smooth and creamy to create the frosting.
  6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the vegan cream cheese frosting generously over the warm banana bread. Slice and enjoy the bread while still warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • This recipe uses vegan ingredients, making it suitable for vegans.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
