Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth and chop the walnuts evenly for consistent texture.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the plant-based cream cheese and brown sugar until creamy. Add the vegetable oil, mashed bananas, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Mix well until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, natural gelling agent, cinnamon (natural), and salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
  4. Blend Dry and Wet Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until combined to maintain a tender crumb. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch.
  5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use extra ripe bananas for enhanced sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to preserve a tender texture.
  • Ensure plant-based cream cheese and oil are at room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Check the bread starting at 50 minutes as oven temperatures vary.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
