Ingredients:
For the Banana Bread:
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 100ml plant-based milk
- 80ml oil
- 60ml agave syrup (optional)
- 150g oat flour
- 160g spelt flour (or regular flour)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of cinnamon
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- 30g sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the Streusel Topping:
- 70g plant-based butter
- 100g flour
- 40g sugar
- A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the plant-based milk, oil, and agave syrup until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the oat flour, spelt flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Use a fork to gently swirl this cinnamon filling into the batter, creating pockets of cinnamon throughout.
- Prepare the Streusel Topping:
- In another bowl, mix the plant-based butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon until a crumbly dough forms. Set aside.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with top and bottom heat.
- Pour the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes. After about 35 minutes, check the bread, and if the streusel is browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the banana bread cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
