How To Make Cinnamon Donut Banana Bread
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a metal loaf pan.
Step 2: In a small mixing bowl, prepare flax eggs by combining flaxseed meal and warm water. Set aside until a gel forms.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, mix together mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, almond or oat milk, and flax eggs. Add oat flour and coconut flour to the mixture and stir until a thick batter forms.
Step 4: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: While the banana bread bakes, prepare the cinnamon cream cheese frosting by mixing powdered sugar, vegan cream cheese, melted butter, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 6: Once the bread has cooled for a few minutes, spread the frosting over the top and enjoy warm or cooled.
