    Vegan Cinnamon Crumble Banana Bread

    Jump to Recipe

    This Vegan Cinnamon Crumble Banana Bread is a mix between coffee cake and banana bread. The banana bread is fluffy and moist and topped with buttery sugar crumbles that take this sweet treat to a whole new level.

    Stack of banana bread slices with fresh banana slices and maple syrup drizzle on top.

    The banana bread is fluffy, super moist, has the perfect light crumb structure, and isn't too sweet. The crumble on top is sweet, crisp, and crumbly and is a must-have! Seriously, don't take it off! It's too good.

    This dairy-free crumble banana bread will be perfect for your next friends or family brunch gathering, a Sunday morning baking session, or to bake and freeze so you can always have a sweet treat on hand. Be sure to keep this recipe handy so you have it whenever your bananas are ripe!


    Kitchen Essentials

    This vegan banana bread doesn't require any fancy equipment. You will need a standard loaf pan. You could also make muffins in a 12-count muffin tin.


    Main Ingredients

    • All Purpose Flour
    • Cinnamon
    • Baking Soda, not powder
    • Mashed Bananas
    • Granulated Sugar

    Substitutions

    1. Baking Soda: Baking soda cannot be substituted with baking powder.
    2. All Purpose Flour: I haven't tried this banana bread with any other flour but if you give it a try, let me know!
    3. Granulated Sugar: This can be substituted with light brown sugar but leave out the molasses in the loaf if you make this switch.

    Optional Add-ins

    • Mini Vegan Chocolate Chips
    • Toasted Pecans or Walnuts
    • Vanilla Extract

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How ripe should my bananas be?

    The bananas used for banana bread be very very ripe. Black is preferred.

    Why is my banana bread dry?

    Over measuring flour can result in a dry batter which will then create a dry and dense bread. Spoon and level off the flour! I can’t recommend this enough. Avoid scooping the flour out of the container or bag with your measuring cup simply spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead. Avoid packing the flour into the cup or bang the cup on the counter. This will make the flour settle and you’ll end up with too much flour.

    Why is my banana bread gooey?

    Be careful not to underbake your loaf or you'll end up with gooey banana bread. Before taking the bread out of the oven gently press down a few times and the loaf should bounce back. You could also insert a toothpick and it'll come out clean when it's ready.

    Can I freeze my leftovers?

    Yes! Pre-slice the leftovers and place a piece of parchment paper in between each slice so they don't stick together. Simply microwave or place in the oven for a few minutes.
