How To Make Cinnamon Donut Banana Bread

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.
