Ingredients

Scale

Main Batter Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 4 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup almond or oat milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon

Swirl Mixture

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking the bread.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas and then add the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully blended.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Incorporate Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet banana mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Prepare Swirl Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the melted vegan butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined to create the cinnamon swirl.
  6. Layer Batter and Swirl: Pour half of the banana bread batter into a greased loaf pan. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the swirl mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is cooked through.
  8. Cool: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • For gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • If you prefer a less sweet loaf, reduce the maple syrup by 1/4 cup.
  • Almond or oat milk can be substituted with any plant-based milk.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Let the bread cool completely for best slicing results.
