Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread

Serves | 1 loaf

Banana Bread:

• 3 ripe bananas

• 2 eggs

• 1 c milk

• ½ c olive oil

• ¼ c honey

• 2 c all purpose flour (can use GF 1:1)

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

Cinnamon Swirl:

• ¼ c coconut or maple sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Cream Cheese Icing:

• 3 tbsp butter, softened

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ c maple sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Mash banana in a bowl with wet banana bread ingredients. Add dry ingredients and mix to combine. Add to a greased loaf pan and set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, mix cinnamon swirl ingredients together. Pour the mixture on top and gently swirl in with a fork or knife.

4. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until center is no longer jiggly and top is lightly brown.

5. While the bread cools completely, mix together icing ingredients in a bowl. Add on top, spreading evenly, and enjoy!

Notes: Coconut sugar will give the cinnamon swirl a darker, more traditional cinnamon-sugar color, while maple sugar will be lighter.
