We all have those morning rituals that make us feel good. For Tony and I, it usually involves something hearty, fulfilling, and just a little bit sweet to go with a big mug of tea or coffee. This combination is not only comforting and satisfying, it’s also how we get our energetic start to the day. And my most recent a.m. obsession is this better-for-you Bananas Foster Breakfast Bread.
The idea for this beautiful baked good was inspired by a recent visit to Target. I had just downloaded their Cartwheel App, and was armed with discount offers for several items that we needed and some that simply piqued my curiosity. Like usual, our shopping trip started with a thorough browse through the food section. I always find some fun dairy-free goodies at Target, and this trip was no exception. In the refrigerated section, I spotted Silk Almond Creamers in three sweet flavors: Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Caramel. Yes, Caramel!
I’d never tried a Caramel Creamer, and was worried that it would sell out quickly on such a busy shopping day. So it was the first thing that went into our basket. But then I realized that I should probably try all THREE flavors. After all, I have to tell you how they taste, right?
At home, I had some bananas quickly ripening on the counter. Banana bread was definitely in order, but I wanted something different. So I grabbed the Silk Caramel Creamer along with several other wholesome ingredients, and whipped up this super-easy bananas foster breakfast bread.
But this isn’t your typical quick bread. It’s just sweet enough and just moist enough to enjoy fresh. However, it’s hearty and perfect for toasting. The slices also freeze very well, and can be popped in the toaster for a wonderfully convenient breakfast with coffee and creamer.
I enjoy the sweet caramel nuances of this bananas foster breakfast bread straight up or with a slather of nut butter. But in sticking with the flavor theme (bananas foster is served with vanilla ice cream), I thought it would be fun to pair it with a quick vanilla cream spread. And it couldn’t be easier. Just whisk salted cashew butter and Vanilla Almond Creamer together! The flavor combination is divine, and is a relatively low-sugar treat.
Special Diet Notes: Bananas Foster Breakfast Bread
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan, plant-based, and vegetarian.
- 2 cups spelt flour (can sub whole wheat flour)
- ⅝ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (reduce to ⅛ teaspoon for higher altitude)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup mashed very ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread (optional, see below)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup caramel dairy-free creamer (I used Silk Caramel Almond Creamer)
- ¼ cup salted cashew butter
- 2 to 4 tablespoons vanilla dairy-free creamer (I used Silk Vanilla Almond Creamer)
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and flour the bottom.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Place the banana, buttery spread (if using), and vinegar in a mixing bowl and blend with a hand mixer until relatively smooth.
- Add the creamer and flour mixture to your mixing bowl, and stir until combined. Do not over mix; a few small lumps are okay.
- Scrape the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and even it out.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the vanilla cream spread, place the cashew butter in a small bowl. Whisk in the creamer until your desired taste and consistency is reached. I typically use the full 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) for a very spreadable topping that is pleasantly sweet.

Thank you! It’s a great, wholesome bread and those creamers are really a treat!
I love that this isn’t just banana, but you added the delicious foster! Looks like the perfect anytime treat!
I LOVE Banana’s Foster! I have a vegan recipe for it on my blog. This is a great idea, Alisa, now I can have one of my favorite desserts for breakfast. 🙂
So good to know! I’ll have to check out that recipe Linda.
Banana’s Foster bread – that’s impressive! Love this idea. And who doesn’t love a sale on ingredients?!?
Thanks Alicia! This girl definitely loves a good sale, too!
SO true about morning rituals! I have my matcha latte every morning, unless I’m feeling wild and have a chai tea latte haha. I’d LOVE to try these creamers in my morning lattes – haven’t seen them. Oh, the banana bread looks divine too!
I’m not surprised – I’ve come across your matcha latte recipe many times Dreena and it looks AMAZING!
I love the bananas foster twist to banana bread. Such a tasty and creative idea. Yum!
Thanks Chrystal! I think it’s pretty darn tasty 🙂
Nothing beats cozy banana bread, but make it banana fosters…amped up!
So true, banana bread is the best!
This recipe looks so tasty! I just love the Cartwheel app too.
Admittedly, I’m not an app person, but this one won me over! I’ve been checking it regularly!
Love that you noted it freezes well! I’ve started getting better about freezing what I bake so I don’t chow dow nall at once and this would be one of those tasty recipes!
Haha, we have a freezer full of little goodies! Some day I’ll have to stop with the making and start with the finishing 🙂
I have never heard of bananas foster. It must be a traditional American dessert I guess as I never came across it in England and I’m pretty up with desserts! I love bananas though so I’m sure I would like it!
Your bread sounds delicious. I would gladly eat it for breakfast or snacks and that spread to go on it sounds wonderful with it. Freezing slices to toast is such a great idea too!
Thanks Mel! And yes indeed, it’s an American dessert. I looked it up for fun and found out it’s a New Orleans special. Info in case you want to try it 🙂 -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananas_Foster
Alisa this looks so delicious!! This is such a fun twist on banana bread. I will have to keep my eyes open for these new creamers – all the flavours sound so good.
Thank you Rebecca!
What a great idea for a banana bread! I bet this would smell delicious baking away in the oven!
During and after! We left to go shopping after it was done, came home, and our place still smelled sweet like this bread.
I bet this bananas foster breakfast bread smells wonderful baking in the oven! It’s perfect for a quick breakfast or even as an afternoon snack! Can’t wait to try it!
It definitely does!
Bananas foster anything is right up my alley!! And I am loving banana bread right now, so I obviously need to make this version next 🙂
Banana bread is a staple in our home – those ripening bananas either get frozen for smoothies or made into some healthy banana bread like this one.
This looks so good! That vanilla cream spread is calling my name!
It’s just too, too easy not to make 🙂
You had me at Bananas Foster! I need to whip this up soon and I know this isn’t just another “banana bread” as someone who loves caramelized bananas and knows they are nothing like plain raw bananas. Nicely done, and love that I’d have some leftover creamer for my coffee. I haven’t tried these ones yet but love the new So Delicious Caramel one.
You should definitely give it a spin Sarah. It’s got such a pop of flavorful sweetness and a nice light-but-just-creamy-enough finish.
My goodness, this looks so good!! I literally just bought the vanilla and caramel flavors this morning! 🙂 Can’t wait to use them!
They’re super sweet and flavorful! Enjoy Jenn.
This looks like the most amazing breakfast bed! I would love to enjoy this with a warm cup of coffee on a lazy Saturday morning!
Yep, the ultimate treat 🙂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who “stocks up” when I find a great dairy-free item 🙂 And this recipe is on my list to make.
Definitely not. Once in a while, we go into mini-hoarder mode!
Oh man. I love bananas Foster and banana bread – this is like my perfect recipe mashup!
It seemed like a natural, must-make combination – especially with some liquid caramel at hand!
