Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 4 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup grape juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Blend in the plant-based cream cheese, brown sugar, grape juice, vanilla extract, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, natural gelling agent, and cinnamon to evenly distribute flavors and leavening agents.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. Gently fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cooled slightly, slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Mix batter just until ingredients are combined to keep bread light and fluffy.
  • Ensure accurate oven temperature with a thermometer for best results.
  • Try toasted nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Use fresh spices and natural extracts for a noticeable difference in taste.
