Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with vegan butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth, then add melted vegan butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
  3. Sprinkle in baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until uniformly incorporated.
  4. Fold in all-purpose flour and rolled oats until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, spread evenly, then drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter and gently swirl with a knife.
  6. Add the remaining batter, smoothing it out, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture and swirl again.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, using a toothpick to check for doneness.
  8. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle frosting if desired.
