Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 4 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup almond or oat milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

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’s ready when your batter is mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas thoroughly. Add the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond or oat milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, light brown sugar, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  4. Make the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted vegan butter with the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  5. Assemble the Bread: Grease a loaf pan lightly. Pour half of the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then drizzle with the rest of the cinnamon swirl. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is cooked through.
  7. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or another liquid sweetener for variation.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Use rolled oats rather than instant oats for better texture.
  • Check your bread a few minutes before the suggested bake time to avoid overbaking.
