Description

A simple and satisfying eggless banana bread loaf, made moist with overripe bananas and plant-based ingredients. This recipe features a rich brown butter caramel swirl for an elevated flavor profile.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups (350g) mashed very ripe bananas
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter (for caramel swirl)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar (for caramel swirl)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened plant-based milk or cream (for caramel swirl)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (for caramel swirl)
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan and Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed ripe bananas, 1/2 cup plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Make Brown Butter Caramel Swirl: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup plant-based milk/cream, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Whisk over low heat until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  6. Layer and Swirl Batter: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle half of the remaining caramel over the batter. Add the rest of the batter and drizzle the remaining caramel on top.
  7. Bake Loaf: Gently swirl the caramel into the batter with a knife. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Completely: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for 1-2 hours. Drizzle with reserved caramel and flaky salt before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can lead to a tough and dense loaf. Ensure the loaf cools completely (for 1-2 hours) before slicing to allow the caramel swirl to set properly.
