Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Blend in the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Add baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, stirring until combined.
  3. Gradually sift the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients and mix gently. Fold in oats if using.
  4. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing melted vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Spoon dollops of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and swirl gently using a knife.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the frosting by blending softened vegan butter, powdered sugar, and vegan cream cheese until smooth.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once cooled, frost your Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread.
