Mouthwatering moist and fluffy vegan banana bread bursting with cinnamon flavor! Gluten-free and oil-free!
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/4 cups GF rolled oats 1 cup oat flour
- 1 & 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1 & 1/2 cups mashed bananas very ripe, about 3 or 4 bananas
- 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 2 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp fine grain pink salt
- 2 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 & 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 2 & 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Vegan Icing
- 5 tbsp unrefined vegan powdered sugar
- splash of water (adjust to desired thickness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare your loaf pan with parchment paper. Make your cinnamon sugar mixture and set aside.
- Measure out 1 & 1/4 cups rolled oats and add to the food processor or blender to make a soft flour. If using oat flour already made, use 1 cup. Set oat flour aside.
- Add 3 or 4 very ripe bananas to the food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and measure out 1 & 1/2 cups. Return 1 & 1/2 cups of mashed banana to the food processor or blender and add the rest of the wet ingredients: coconut palm sugar, vanilla, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.
- Next, add all of your dry ingredients (oat flour, almond flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda) to the wet ingredients and pulse only until smooth, don’t over mix.
- Add half of your batter to the loaf pan and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Add the remaining half and top with another layer on cinnamon sugar. Add more cinnamon sugar for more crispiness on top.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes, checking in it around the 30 minute mark. Do not overbake! Take it out of the oven when a knife comes out clean (a little banana bread residue is fine as long as it’s cooked and not raw)
- Let cool for about 30 minutes to an hour for best textural results, or just eat is fresh out of the oven!
- Don’t forget to top with icing and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure your bananas are very ripe!
If you don’t have a blender that can handle large amounts of food, you can blend your wet ingredients in the blender and then transfer to a large bowl and add your dry ingredients, but it’s preferred to mix everything in the blender or food processor.
