Ingredients

Cake Batter Banana Bread

  • 1 cup mashed, ripe banana roughly 3 medium bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter*
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract optional, but adds to the cake batter taste!
  • 1 1/3 cup oat flour** use gluten-free, if necessary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Cashew Cream Drizzle

Instructions

Cake Batter Banana Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350f or 175c. Line a standard sized loaf pan with parchment paper and grease.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, eggs, maple syrup, cashew butter and vanilla. Stir until thoroughly mixed!
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the oat flour, baking soda, baking poweder and salt.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and fold together until just mixed. There shouldn't be any streaks of wet or dry ingredients left in the batter, but don't overmix it!
  • Pour into the loaf pan and bake for roughly 40 minutes. (This baking time is largely contingent on your oven! Begin testing at 35 minutes, but it may take up to 45 minutes to bake through.)
  • Serve warm, cool or at room temperature. For optimum enjoyment, top with the optional cashew cream drizzle (recipe below) and sprinkles!

Optional Cashew Cream Drizzle

  • Soak cashews in boiling water for at least 10 minutes, but for up to a few hours!
  • Drain cashews and add them to a high speed blender or food processor with all of the other ingredients.
  • Blend until smooth + slather on top of a warm slice of banana bread!

Notes

*any nut butter will work, but may alter the flavor!
**to make your own oat flour, simply throw some oats into a blender or food processor. grind until they reach a flour like consistency.
