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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas thoroughly until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond or oat milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to fully incorporate all wet ingredients.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  5. Combine All Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain its shape and texture.
  9. Serve: Slice and enjoy your cinnamon roll banana bread warm or at room temperature. Perfect on its own or with a drizzle of vegan butter or maple syrup.
