Combine the flavors of a cinnamon roll and banana bread in one delicious loaf. This cinnamon roll banana bread is going to be a crowd pleaser. Your kitchen is going to smell amazing and everyone will love it! This recipe is super simple, vegan, and gluten-free friendly.
Begin by preheating the oven to 375. Grease a metal loaf pan with non stick spray.
In your large mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the overripe bananas. Add the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, plant-milk, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add the flour and oats and mix until a batter forms.
Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan. In a small separate bowl, make the cinnamon swirl by mixing the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl over the top of the banana bread batter and then use a spoon to gently fold it in to create a swirl effect.
Bake the cinnamon roll banana bread in the oven for 55-60 minutes or until it is golden brown. While the bread bakes, use a whisk to mix the melted vegan butter, powdered sugar, and vegan cream cheese to make the vegan cream cheese frosting.
Drizzle the frosting over the loaf once it has cooled for a couple of minutes and enjoy while it's still warm!
