Description
A moist and flavorful vegan banana bread with a crunchy cinnamon topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- For the Crunch Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cold vegan butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and plant-based milk until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the crunch topping: In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold vegan butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the crunch topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture.
