Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and flour.
  4. Gradually pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the rolled oats gently into the batter.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the melted vegan butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Spread half of the banana batter into the loaf pan and drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture on top.
  8. Dollop and spread the remaining batter over it and finish with the rest of the cinnamon swirl.
  9. Gently swirl through the batter using a knife or skewer to create marbling.
  10. Bake the loaf for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  12. Mix up the glaze and once the bread is cool, drizzle it generously over the top.
  13. Slice and serve your Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread as a delightful treat.
