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 and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a metal loaf pan with non-stick spray for easy removal of the bread.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork. Add melted vegan butter, maple syrup, unsweetened almond or oat milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into the wet mixture. Then fold in the all-purpose flour and rolled oats, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together melted vegan butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl topping.
  5. Combine Swirl and Batter: Pour the banana bread batter into the greased loaf pan. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl over the top and gently fold it into the batter with a spoon to create a marbled swirl effect.
  6. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Make the Frosting: While the bread bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted vegan butter, and softened vegan cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost and Serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the vegan cream cheese frosting over the warm loaf. Slice and enjoy the deliciously warm cinnamon roll banana bread.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • For gluten-free option, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
  • Ensure vegan butter and cream cheese are softened to blend easily.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or another liquid sweetener.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a nuttier flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
